I was born in the USSR and moved over to the US when I was four years old, living on food stamps in the projects! My family worked ridiculously hard to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and open up a world of opportunities for me, and here I am!
I was lucky enough to study abroad in Spain in college, which made me fall in love with traveling and I realized I want to do it for the rest of my life! I'd love to do doctors without borders or build my own clinic in an underserved village abroad or something like that

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I joined when I was interviewing across the country for residency programs, and I stayed because I love what Couchsurfing represents
