ABOUT ME

I am Russian and Jewish and proud of both of those heritages. I currently work as an engineer in a suburb of Detroit, MI. My fiance and I love to travel and meet new people. I've found that if you try something new with an open mind it will generally be a rewarding experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and experience different cultures. To give back and give people a chance to see what Detroit has to offer.

Interests

I am a big sports far, especially Boston teams (grew up there) and the Michigan Wolverines (Go Blue!). I enjoy going out to adventurous bars and meeting new people over a game of pool or darts. I like to check out new music by up and coming artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I went on birthright (all expense paid 10 day trip to Israel) and I thought that it was the most incredible trip of my life. I lived in Israel when I was a kid and going back after I knew more about the history and seeing all the places again was incredible. I've traveled around the United States a bit too and have found Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Rockies to be fascinating places that are not jam packed with tourists.
