Hi hi!

Don't want to ruin the surprise so quickly but here are some tidbits- I grew up in Russia, I live in California, I travel from time to time, hike, read, rave, and make pretty tasty omelettes.

I try to not say 'no' + love new things & make new friends, often show people around my city and love when people show me theirs!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people & to be able to travel on a budget, to learn ins and outs of new places, and to give back a little.
