My name is Lena and I'm 20! I was born in the capital of Russia - Moscow and spent there 18 years and then moved to USA to get education. Now I am living in the small town called Oneonta which is 4 hours away from New York City! Sometimes I feel like it's too small after huge Moscow, but fascinating nature of this place makes everything better! Also I've been playing water polo since I was 8! I hope you know about this sport, if not - go to youtube and watch it a little bit! I swear you'll fall in love with this sport! And I am saying in advance - our goalies do not stand on the bottom! Yes, it's true!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing is the great opportunity to learn something new about countries, its customs, and, of course, people!
