Hey! My name is Arsenii and I am from Russia. I am currently studying on an exchange program at a college in Kansas. The exchange program only lasts a year, so I am eager to visit different places in the US. Over the past two months, I have visited Chicago, Los Angeles and cities in Kansas. My major is history, my field of research is Germany. My hobbies are learning German, running and art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I dream of seeing the key cities of America and getting to know American culture and interesting people.
