Hi! My name is Daria and currently I am living and studying in the US as an exchange student from Russia. I was born and raised in Moscow in a scientists family and apparently became an art-lover :) I completed my first year in the university in Moscow and left for my exchange year, what is probably on of the greatest thing that ever happened to me (and happening right now). I love people, cultures, art, languages and life-stories. I am warm and opened, loving to explore and learn. Trying to catch every moment and being thankful!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I am in the US, I am trying to travel all around to get know the culture and people more, to see and observe more, and all in all experience as much as I can during this year! For me Couchsurfing is a possibility to travel being a student and also it is an awesome chance to meet new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 10 I wrote a letter to Elizabeth II, the Queen of the United Kingdom. When I was sending it from the post office, the lady who worked there laughed, but after a month I got an answer!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love both - learning and sharing! Enjoy getting knowledge, experience the world, observe from different perspective. But If you want to get a crash course in Russian language or cuisine, in contemporary art or movement practices - I am here for you!
