Overview
About Me
Always down to learn something new and get out of my comfort zone.
Used to live in the US for three years, just moved back to Moscow this summer.
Got my Master's from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Fulbright scholar. Originally from Moscow, Russia. At some point, lived in Almaty, Seattle, Chicago, Champaign-Urbana, and Las Vegas. Traveled to 28 countries and 32 states.
Like roadtripping, photography, big cities, hiking, swimming, kayaking, surfing and all kinds of adventures. I would be glad to give you a tour around Moscow and/or give recommendations for your trip. In any case, don't hesitate to hit me up!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Wanna meet new people, learn something new, share my travelling experiences, get that amazing free spirit energy from surfers/hosts
Interests
I work in a consulting company, so, unfortunately, I don't really have a lot of free time.
Also, I used to work for airlines and can share some tips on how to fly ridiculously cheap. My personal best - Prague to Honolulu for $270. Try to beat that :)
