** I’m currently renting a house and the landlord probably wouldn’t let me host somebody. It’s possible but not likely. However, I know many people in Moscow and could probably find somewhere for you to stay!

My favorite word is sonder: "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own." The funny thing is it’s not a word, it’s made up. But you get the gist :0)

At the end of the day, I joined Couchsurfing because I feel like it’s who I am. Isn’t that why we do anything? To be with like minded people and to have some sense of belonging and togetherness in this wild life. And after just a few experiences, I can already feel that sense. Or at least I think I do. I’m in love with it and I can’t wait to give back to this awesome community <3

In my free time I love spending time with loved ones and staying active, mainly with basketball. I live to play Super Smash Brothers Melee. I enjoy movies, shows, and books. I’ve got a special affinity for board games. I like spending time at events: plays, presentations, community events, Ted Talks, conventions, concerts, etc. There are many things I’ve never done and I might like, so I try new things sometimes too :0)

I choose not to drink alcohol, although I don’t have much judgement against it. To each their own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool humans. Share and make memories. Exchange knowledge and experiences. A big thing for me is being able to give back to others because I have been so fortunate in life. Often times I feel I don’t deserve it.

Interests

Learning is my biggest interest, probably because I don’t know much. Whether it be cultural, relationships, experiences, or life in general, I love to learn.

I was lucky enough to experience totality of a solar eclipse

What I Can Share with Hosts

A judgment free time :) For whatever weird reason, I’m a fantastic listener. Rarely am I ever the life of the conversation or the center of attention, I am complementary. I thrive while listening to others express mostly anything. Listening helps me learn about people.
