CURRENT MISSION

Experience life by being fully present in the moment, explore new places and cultures and meet amazing & fun people

ABOUT ME

Traveling is one of my biggest passions! I was born in Moscow, grew up in Paris, moved to Minsk and then Denver. Being multicultural feels like I never truly belong anywhere but it also helps me see the world more objectively.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile a lot. Have an open mind and an open heart. Live life to the fullest. Take risks. Learn the local language (at least the basics). Get out of your comfort zone. Explore yourself and the world around you. Walk a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience has been great! Love meeting people through here.

Interests

Nothing beats coming home after another long day of school and work and spending the evening in bed with a great book. Practicing yoga every day is what I strive for..but that honestly hasn't happened in a while. When I get sad or lonely I drive up to the mountains by myself and look out at the city...that helps me clear my mind. I love to get out every once in a while and dance my body off. Museums, theatres and concerts are some of my other favorite places to hang out at, but what really matters is not what I am doing but the company I am with. Anything is fun when you get a true connection with the people around you. Truly I am up to try almost anything at least once in my lifetime and love adventures!
