About Me

I was born in Kazakhstan but raised in the States. I lived on the East Coast majority of my life until I made a solo move to Phoenix, Arizona in 2016. After Covid happened and I started my job working remote, I knew my life was more than a 9-5. I quit my corporate career at the end of 2020 and put all my faith into Spirit leading me where I needed to go from there.

I first moved to San Miguel De Allende, MX, and lived there for a year and a half before I made the move to South America. I then moved to The Sacred Valley in Peru for 9 months before moving to San Antonio, Tarapoto in the Peruvian Jungle to continue my plant medicine studies and connecting deeper with nature. Afterwards, my journey transported me over to Ecuador where I spent 6 months living in different parts of the country, completing my plant medicine journey.

I'm now in Virginia (Oct-Dec '24) visiting my family and friends that I see very rarely due to traveling full time and living out of my suitcase for the last three years. I'm here to catch a breather before continuing my travels over to Europe and then Asia.

Once living in a corporate cage climbing the corporate ladder, I am now the free bird I've always known I was ever since I was a child. I recognize how blessed I am to travel fulltime and see new places... I will always love meeting new people and learning about their everyday lives in different countries all around the world.

Nothing excites me more than traveling around the world, exploring new places, and meeting awesome people. 

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people. Making new connections is what I live for. Couchsuring allows me to stay with locals and learn first hand about what it's like to live in that part of the world. I can't think of a better way to learn. This kind of travel expands my self awareness and teaches me so much about life itself.

I am eager to meet all humans on their self-discovery path, for I know we are all connected in the astral. Reconnecting with my brothers and sisters here in the physical form is the experience I chase.

2023 was my year of isolation and integration to better understand and heal my mental and physical health so that in 2024 I would be ready to travel the world again.

I prefer Couchsurfing over Airbnb or hostels because it always makes me feel more at home to be staying with people who are open to hosting strangers this way... It says so much about a person who is willing to do this and those are my kind of people.

I have big travel plans for 2025, starting with Germany, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, and The Uk, before heading down to south Asia. It would be an epic accomplishment to couch surf in all of these countries.

I'm a solo traveler who diligently strives to serve all who cross my path and to bring joy wherever I end up being. Namaste.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music as an enhacement to my ever changing mood. I'm someone who doesn't keep track of artists, I simply pick a song that fits my mood that moment and create a spotify radio station which usually never disappoints. I can listen to classical, rap, rock, classic rock, electronic/EDM, dubstep, and reggae. For the most part I listen to rap and electronic, but you'll never catch me vibing to country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 14 days alone in the jungle, dieting Datura (Angel's Trumpet) in complete isolation. And then again a for 21 days. It has definitely been the most profound thing I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to cook for you. I come ready to do yoga and would love to help you relax with some powerful meditation and breathing techniques as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I genuinely enjoy cleaning. So show me where the cleaning supplies, vacuum and mop are and I'll make your house sparkle and glisten!
