CURRENT MISSION

For a minute, I lost myself...

ABOUT ME

Well, I graduated college and wasn't really sure what to do with myself. So I decided to move to Russia, and travel in my free time. Sometimes I miss US things like breakfast burritos and good beer, but Russia's been a great adventure. I like meeting diverse people from interesting backgrounds - I guess that's why travelling attracts me so much. I love music, and coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

Life needs a soundtrack.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I originally heard about Couchsurfing through a college friend, and the idea of this free, altruistic, sharing grassroots community really interested me. I've traveled all over the world using couchsurfing, and I've never had a bad experience. It's the greatest way to meet the coolest people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed Europe and the Middle East, and have met a lot of people through Couchsurfing in my home, Moscow.

Интересы

Russian, microbrewed beer (especially IPAs), rock climbing, international politics, Russian literature, and music.

Музыка, кино и книги

My favorite bands are Tool and Radiohead, but I listen to a huge variety of alternative/indie/rock/rap/hip-hop. Some good groups: LCD Soundsystem, Fiest, Miike Snow, Death Cab for Cutie, Kid Cudi, Eminem, The Black Keys, TV on the Radio, Kanye West, Jay-Z (or both together, Watch the Throne was amazing), the Weeknd, Rage Against the Machine, and many more. As far as books: I've read a lot of Russian and American literature. Right now I'm (trying) to read Harry Potter in Russian.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Recently: watching a crowd of tens of thousands of Russians - a population politically docile for the last few decades - actively protest for their political freedoms in the center of Moscow. It was breathtaking...

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией
