Always find the adventures.

I was born in Russia, raised in Massachusetts, schooled in Pennsylvania, and I currently live in Charlotte, NC. I love my fiancé and my cat, Peanut. When I'm not slinging coffee you can find me marathoning Netflix with a spoonful of Nutella in hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done my fair share of traveling and laid my head to rest on many couches in the past. I enjoy opening up my house, showing folks around my city and introducing them to the people that I love. It's a small honor to share your home and life with a traveler, and I live vicariously through my guests while I work 50-hour work weeks.

Also let's be honest: a free place to stay when you're exploring a new city? Tops.
