Hi, I'm Kris! Originally born in the Soviet Union, but spent most of my life living in Chicago/Florida. This is my 3rd trip abroad, and seems to be my last because I don't want to return to the USA. I like learning bits of other languages, seeing nature, meeting new people (but also having some alone time thrown in there), writing, and diving. I get along with almost everyone and get angry when I see maps because the world is so big and I'm not sure how I will see it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm broke and I like to meet new people and see the non-touristy spots!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music (except country) and I will have special love for you if you like Underoath or Coheed and Cambria (=

Books...is hard. I love historical fiction, especially ones centered around 15th and 16th century English monarchy, some classics, books about traveling, some fantasy, Game of Thrones OBVIOUSLY, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. I could go on for hours, you don't want to hear it!
