CURRENT MISSION

to keep the most important things in the forefront of my life by my choices

ABOUT ME

I am an unusual 30 year old American girl who has been living in Russia for the past 11.5 years. I have been married to a Russian man for 7 years and we have a 6 year old daughter and 2 year old son! I love meeting new people and learning about their lives. I'm shy but also outgoing, depending on the situation. So far, I have been fortunate enough to travel to 31 countries and I hope for such opportunities in the future. Though I love to try new things, I hold to Christian morality and strive for a healthy lifestyle. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Olya made me join couchsurfing so that we could find a place to stay for our trip to Istanbul. I was kind of nervous and skeptical, but we had a great experience with our host and with the locals who showed us around.January 2012, I officially hosted my first couch surfer here in Krasnodar.
