I’m often quiet and shy but I try to live outside of my comforts, traveling has especially allowed me to do and be so. But above all else I think of myself as a curious person, it’s the motivation behind all of my actions, it makes me seek knowledge from literature to Russian politics. learn languages, absorb art, look for the next striking film, pursue a new recipe, seek out new experiences and indulge in sumptuous foods and wines.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Though hostels and AirBnB have made traveling more attainable, Couchsurfer offers a richer experience by expanding your experiences through a closer intimacy to place and people.
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Just Kids, M Train, Orlando: a biography, To the Lighthouse, A Room of One’s Own, Sister Outsider, White Oleander, A Wild Sheep Chase, Bad Kid, Dharma Bums, Madame Bovary...the list could go on on Music: Laura Marling, Fever Ray, Patti Smith, Courtney Barnett, First Aid Kit, Shannon & the Clams Movies: Ma Vie de Courgette, Tracks, Never Let Me Go, Call Me By Your Name, North Sea Texas. Postwar Japanese films especially hold a place in my heart from Ozu to Kurosawa along with every Studio Ghibli film.
