I'd like to get acquainted with people from all over the world, practice languages, and find new friends. Will grant a kingdom for a good story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my trip to Moscow back in 2011 I made friends with one girl from Samara while waiting in line for our visa interview in the American embassy. My application was rejected, but I had a whale of a time with this wonderful girl whom I never saw afterward. She told me of this project and I liked the idea. So I'm here!

I believe that travelers are my crowd. It's people with open minds and open hearts, who share my passion for traveling and prefer to take everything that life has to offer.

Interests

I like music, learning languages, cooking, social dancing, psychology. Interested in history, art, and culture. Always in search of somebody to join me for an opera night.
