I’m Russian but I have lived in the USA for the past 15 years.

When I’m not on the road, I enjoy cooking, remodeling my house, biking, and hiking. I’m a pretty good cook and know a lot of recipes of Russian food.

I have a cat and dog. My pets are my my family, and I adore them. When I’m hosting, my dog stays in the basement.

My current mission and goals... I want to experience living in another country... so yes please tell me about your country and you like about living there. I want to learn how to dance salsa and bachata which is particularly difficult because I’m the least coordinated person in this country. And I want to learn about minimalism life aka to learn how to stop buy things I never use 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and want to help out people who are as passionate about travel as much as I’m.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just joined the library (yay!) and now I just read I get my hands on. I particularly enjoy detective stories and personal and professional development books.

I love chick flicks ( you can’t blame me for loving stories that always end well😊).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove a Mario cart on streets of Tokyo dressed as Yoshi.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides the couch, you can use the kitchen with everything you might need ( just clean after yourself). I also have a washer and dryer in the house.
