CURRENT MISSION
Three years ago I moved to Spain to study nutrition and epigenetics. I teach English classes online. I'm a Ukranian/Russian-born American. I like to host and travel with Couchsurfing to learn about different cultures and ideas about life.

ABOUT ME

I like walking around nature and historical cities! I also enjoy hiking, biking, outdoor adventures, and cooking new foods. I am a quiet person, but I open up to people I trust, which happens quite often in the Couchsurfing community!

PHILOSOPHY

be productive, help others, protect nature and culture, learn from other people, search for experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to learn about my surfers/hosts, share a meal or drink, and go do a local activity together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always used to travel with my family for camping and backpacking. Then I discovered couchsurfing!
