Available to host in DC through mid January :-) Authentic requests only, please

Born in Crimea (Russia), have a home in Washington, DC and another one in Italy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I started hosting surfers during my first year of college when I was 17 years old. It was in the center of Florence, Italy. Had to lie about my age that year ;)

Traveling so much, I feel it's important to make local connections and build on life-long friendships this way; I've met my few best friends on here and we continue to visit each other throughout the years!

I obsessively dedicate myself to a new hobby every month - from yoga to pole dancing to bachata.

教，学，和分享

Enjoy the moment :-) Live vicariously. Buy 1-way airplane tickets. Backpack. Take risks. Go where the wind takes you.

"Do you know how you must come to Turkey, my friend? You must come to Turkey as a guest. Then you will look with your eyes and you will see. Not as a tourist with his camera or a traveler who looks and sees his own dreams.
Be a guest of Turkey. A guest knows he is safe, because his hosts love him."
Book: Marco Polo Didn't Go There
