I’m a 24 year old startup founder born in Montreal but originally from Russia (anti-war).

My biggest goal in life is to retire my parents as they have given me everything that they could and even more.

Other bucket list items include
🌎 Visiting every country in the world
🎙️ Fluently speak at least 5 languages (I got 3 so far!)
🏡 Buying my brother a nice house
📈 Building a successful company
🧘🏻‍♂️ Genuinely just being a good person

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

👴🏻 I want to tell my grandkids cool stories about “when I was young…”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ll circle back on this one

Teach, Learn, Share

🏋🏻‍♂️ I got certified as a personal trainer for fun and because I love fitness so I can help anyone get in shape! I can also teach you to speak, read, and write French and Russian!

🎆 I love to learn about people. Every single person has a unique experience of life and I find it absolutely fascinating to learn about it

💻 I’d love to share my favourite artists, as well as my love for entrepreneurship and building startups
