Hey! I am currently a student living in Berlin, and studying German in order to enroll into a medical university here next year. I was born in Russia, but lived the last 10 years in the US of A.
I'd describe myself as an energetic and social person. I love being outdoors, and am always looking for an adventure, or really anything thrilling to brighten my life. Most of my free time I spend hiking, or traveling when it's possible, or out with friends. I am a social drinker, and consider it a great way of bonding with people. So always down for a drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet some new people and make friends during my travels. I also find that I can get a much better feel of the country, or area, by staying with someone local, as it is always more interesting than staying in a hotel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of the time I prefer hip hop, but I also love classic rock, jazz, and rb&b.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked alone through all of Sweden and Finland last December.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am ready to learn just about anything, especially if it has to do with cooking. But I can also teach about nutrition, and sports medicine related stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a cultural exchange, and can also help around the house, or simply cook. However if you are a better cook than me, then I'll stick to just buying the ingredients. And if there is time, then I would love to engage in some sports or some outdoor activities.
