I'm a Russian-born, dual citizen who feels more like a world citizen than of one particular culture or nation. I've lived on four subcontinents and six different countries, have traveled to forty others, and feel more at home living out of a suitcase or backpack than a 4000 square feet home. I love meeting new people and have friends scattered all over the world.

I am a hippie at heart, more pantheist than anything (though I have donned the cloak of numerous other religions on my path to realizing that the earth is the entity that deserves the most worship), and am passionate about experiencing everything this world and life has to offer.

Currently I'm raising money for a nonprofit that provides and safeguards peoples' most basic needs (safety, shelter, and access to healthcare), and exploring my other passions and business ideas while travelling in my spare time.

(Note, I am currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah and NOT Belgium, but can't figure out how to change the city on my profile!! (computers are NOT my strong suit :) ))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
