I’m very new here and was pretty insecure to use Couchsurfing relying all the time on AirBnb. Well I’m gonna try something new! I was born and raised in Russia, due to political situation moved to NYC 5 years ago. Professional TV journalist but earn my pennies in a way different industry. Love hiking, biking, road trips, museums, fishing, craft beer, night life and debating over politics:)

Unfortunately not able to host, small dwellings is a feature of NYC

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and totally different people, and save some money so I can visit more museums and attractions on my trips
