ABOUT ME
Hey there! I'm a young professional and lover of music looking to travel around the world, experience different cultures, and meet new people. I've done AirBnb's in the past but I'm excited to try a couch and really get to know some locals.
PHILOSOPHY
You only get what you give
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
For now, looking for a place to stay in Vancouver. I live with a few roomamates in NYC so sadly I can't offer my space but am happy to go out for a drink or show people around town when they're here.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm actually new to the site but traveling with a good friend who's done it before. I'm always open to meeting new people, and I think this will be a fun way to experience new cities and get to know how locals live.

I can teach you how to play guitar or drums and give you some Russian lessons. I'm always excited to learn new languages or just hear some good stories!
