CURRENT MISSION

to live my life fully

ABOUT ME

Hello! I was born in Urals, Russia. At the age of 17 I moved to United States, where I have been living ever since. I studied communications and film making in a community college, but I had to withdraw for personal reasons. I'm back at school now slowly working towards my degree.

I'm pretty easy going, funny, open-minded and low maintenance. I see myself as an independent thinker who loves learning about new cultures.

Feel free to send me a friend request on facebook to get to know me a little better. Just write a message that you are from couchsurfing, and I'll be happy to accept your friend's request.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness can be achieved through appreciation of the simple things in life. If you see positive in every experience you have, you will be able to enjoy your life to its fullest potential. I believe that honesty and communication are the keys to a successful relationships with anybody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to another country is one of the kind experience. Right now I can probably live anywhere I want because after immigrating to US I have developed unique skills that will allow me to embrace the new culture and lifestyle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be your tour guide in LA, haha... Just kidding. Well, I know many places to see and things to do in LA that aren't featured in many travel books. Los Angeles has lots of things to offer; it just depends on your tastes and preferences, so if you need an advice, feel free to ask me!
