CURRENT MISSION

To read more books, get a better grip on political science, start a third language, live in Seattle.

ABOUT ME

I lived in Moscow and work as an English teacher, have been studying the language for over 5 years now. Still make a ton of mistakes, but what the hey? Love the outdoors and cherish every opportunity I have to go hiking and camping, although lately I seldom do the latter.

PHILOSOPHY

Curious and interested in other countries, cultures and people. There's always more to learn :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I don't currently have a permanent place of residence, I'm not currently hosting. But when I have a sizable enough place to call my own, I'd love to invite couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted yet! I would like to in the near future, though. I've only officially Couchsurfed in Reno, NV and in Portland, OR, and it was great.
