Hey hi hello! I'm a quiet, queer, former rugby-player turned Russo-phile into disability & mad studies, prison abolition, and radical economics-- but don't worry, I'm also a fun professional and spend my days playing with two little kids in different sites in Moscow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having just graduated from school, and earning a nanny's salary, I have little money to go towards accommodations and yet a high desire to explore the world and develop as a global citizen. I think couchsurfing - exchanging ideas and learning from locals - seems like an excellent way to grow and travel! I hope to someday be a major host!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach you: English, Russian, jewelry making, sculpting, about American queer culture, how to bake the best lemon bars ever, massage!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Working as a nanny, I've gotten very good at managing animals and small children as well as cleaning up messes! Happy to help around the house in exchange for free play to stay!

I'm also a pretty good English teacher as I work part-time in teaching local Russians American-isms

I'm also an artist and love making beautiful little things - a skill I would be happy to share or use to make a host something nice!
