Travel and portrait photographer. www.KseniaTravels.com I'm in love with places I've never been to and people I've never met! After living in New York for almost a decade, my partner and I have decided to venture out and see the world. We’ve started on November 2017 with a 3 months coast to coast road trip across the United States and continued on by getting one way tickets to Vietnam in January 2018. We haven’t been back to NYC since then! After traveling in Vietnam, Russia, India, Nepal and Indonesia we have decided to continue traveling through Asia while teaching English.
After living and working in New Taipei City in Taiwan for 6 months we have moved to Japan and enjoying a coastal living in a small town of Numazu with gorgeous views on Mt.Fuji (the highest point in Japan) and Suruga Bay (the deepest bay of Japanese island)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting off the beaten path and look at things from a different perspective. Couchsurfing seems to be exactly that when it comes to traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: The Sea Wolf by Jack London is one of the most powerful books of a personal growth and transformation!
Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.
Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry.
Brief answers to the big questions by Stephen Hawking.
Movies: Interstate 60. Modigliani. Monsters Inc. and many more!
Music: Jamiroquai and Enigma are my forever favorites even if I don't listen to them for months at times, but love them every time they reach my ears! Otherwise like light chill music and happy house for dancing, running, long driving or for a workflow background sound!
Lately have been listening to various podcasts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most Amazing thing I've done is my very first solo trip to the other side of the planet from my hometown... It was a life changing experience and I have not looked back ever since!
