I'm a dog-lover, travelling student attending university in the USA. I'm travelling to the East Coast for the first time this March. I really love swing dance, theater/acting, art history, singing, cooking, and going out for drinks and some dancing in clubs. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to visit cities and live like a local, exploring the streets where nary a tourist wanders. And I want to meet new people who can show me new places and experiences.

Interests

I love to sing and act, and I am learning the guitar. I also am a fairly good cook, really like to learn about art history, go for hikes (sometimes I trail run), spin indoors, lift weights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Russian language, Spanish, English (I LOVE teaching languages!). I also can teach you some traditional Russian dances and folk songs. I'm also a good companion for visiting art museums (at least I think I am!).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am good at cooking, and I love to sing and dance. Languages, good conversations about literature and art, plus the occasional pun. I can also teach basic swing dance!
