Unfortunately, I can't host anyone for the foreseeable future. I can still maybe meet up with people in town for pizza or to walk, though. The more advance notice, the more likely I can hang out.

I graduated from Amherst College with a degree in Russian Studies in May 2017. I'm currently teaching English in Harbin, just going with the flow for now.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

To travel by local perspective (hotels are for tourists, hostels sometimes feel fake and still for tourists - you get a better feel for a place staying with someone who lives there, you know?), to meet new people from all over the world - different countries, backgrounds, cultures - and to share stories

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I can share music with you. Also, randomly, I can show you faster or different ways to tie your shoes.

Information about America and Americans from a cosmopolitan and well-informed source. Plenty of great stories. Also I'm basically zero-maintenance.
