I am actually a russian spy but my back story is as follows.

I've been living in Austin for 18 months. I came here for Couchcrash 2017, and decided I loved it so much, I moved here! Austin is an amazing city, small yet metropolitan, a mixture of nature and urban, hipster and creative. You'll love it here.

I'm a digital nomad (self employed in I.T) originally from Russia, but grew up in Boston.

When I have free time, I like hiking, philosophy, EDM shows, and (obviously) traveling. I am a mix of introvert and extrovert.

My home is located on the best street in Austin - Rainey's street, with lots of bars and small clubs to party in. I'm also walking distance to everything in Austin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet new people from all over the world, and to learn more about their cultures. I also like helping people who are trying to move to the united states, acclimate and transition them to the country.

How am I as a host
I can definitely take you around in the evenings and during the day on the weekends. I also don't mind if you explore on your own. I prefer that we leave the apartment together and you don't bring back anyone I don't know.
