***Travel as a couple with Ron Macedo (also on CS)***

Originally from Russia, I lived in Alaska before moving to Austin, TX. Traveling is my passion and my goal is to see, try, and experience everything this world has to offer while keeping an open mind and staying true to my principles and believes. I'm married and travel with my husband, Ron Macedo, who is also a CS member.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16, I got to live in New Zealand for 9 months. I was there by myself, without family or friends. It was the best character-building experience I could ever wish for.
Also, I've stopped eating animals and I'm pretty happy about it. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning about history and cultures by visiting foreign places and meeting people. Yoga has taught me patience and self-awareness. Animals have taught me compassion and ability to coexist.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You get to hang out with a pretty cool couple.
