I'm a person between an introvert and extrovert. I like to jog during the mornings since it keeps the blood flowing as the heart pumps, and plus jump starting you in the morning. I love uniqueness in all levels, like Kievskiy cake that's home made in Ukraine as an example. I'm friendly, and I'm a person who is both indoors and outgoing; I'd happily share my time and understand any individual given a good and responsible care to do so! I am fond of people who understand responsibility and are not time wasters. Therefore, making life-long friends are an essential part of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and have a good share of experiences. I'm mostly in San Francisco since I don't have much of the opportunity to travel. If a person has the opportunity to travel, then it would definitely change anybody as a whole to see a different part of life. At this point of life however, the second option is to try and meet different people for conversation and understand where they are coming from. I also am willing to share parts of my life experiences or just have great conversations.

Interests

I love karaoke once in a while in 20% English, 40% Russian, and 40% Vietnamese if I were to split my time and sing. You get the idea. I'd possibly create or join a band one day.

If I can start a good business with someone and the idea is really interesting, I'll definitely do my best to help out!

I like to explore places and also go out on hikes. Some people think it's dangerous, but I like taking risks without thinking about them. There's a saying that if you're not living life, then most likely you're not putting out all of your potential in it (or something along those lines)!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music EXCEPT rap and hip-hop.
I like mainly sci-fi movies like Inception, Ex Machina, or Transcendence.
My favorite book would probably be The Great Gatsby, but unfortunately I'm not a big fan of reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the ability to travel to Ukraine by myself! By far, I'm the only Russian speaker in the family, so therefore learning the culture and having the ability to speak the language is very interesting!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you American English and help you improve your speech and grammar (don't worry about accent since we all have them!). I can even teach you some Vietnamese, or possibly Russian if you're interested. Finally, I can teach you the basics of how to make Android or web apps since they follow the same design pattern of MVC platforms. It is the same in iOS, but I don't like iOS programming since it's not open-source, so sorry, I cannot teach iOS!

I'd like to learn from others about their experiences. I would mainly love to learn about how to cook really good meals and also healthy dishes. I need to improve my Russian vocabulary to have above-average conversations. In a sense, I'd like to be a better, upgraded version of myself. :)

To share is a wonderful thing! It helps all of us to connect if we have things in common within ourselves. Life experience is one thing that we all can relate to. Let's just steer clear from politics since that topic can get very messy. Also, if we're sharing life experiences and connections, maybe we can create a future business as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm able to share the cost of snacks or drinks since I'd like to be totally fair with all expenses. Otherwise, I'd like to ensure that everyone can have a good time within the moment. In the end, why live if you cannot provide value?
