I'm a PhD student, living in Russia for the year with my husband. I love meeting new people, cooking, and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're excited to help other foreigners, who are visiting Russia, and we hope to meet locals as we travel to learn about their home cities.))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've adopted a cat we found on the street in Vladivostok, and we're bringing him home to America with us ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've spent several years living in the former Soviet Union. I'm friendly and enjoy meeting new people, showing people around and helping them with Russian, or when I'm traveling, learning about a city's culture and history through the eyes of a local.
