Active, passionate, considerate.

Working on my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In my spare time, I like to get away from computers and do as much outdoors at possible: climbing, hiking, skiing, riding my bikes, exploring national parks, etc. Love traveling, reading, and making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new friends and also make my travels a bit more affordable. Not only it is nice to save a few bucks by not staying at hotels, which are typically expensive, but it is also great to explore new places by following advice from the locals. At some point in the future, I will try to become a host when my housing situation permits it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to the United States for graduate school was a pretty great move; lots of new experience and emotions in the new environment. I happy to share some stories from that time and the following years if we meet in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught several classes in Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder as a graduate student. I've also volunteered at an adaptive sports organization and taught many skiing lessons to people with disabilities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my travels, grad school, and exploration of many national parks in the United States. I can most likely think of something else too, e.g., how to work on a bicycle and how to fix a car. Just ask if you have something in mind!

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, Luxembourg, Russian Federation, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
