Hey there, my name is Maria.

I was born in Russia and spent half of my childhood traveling the world before settling down in the United States. After finishing school I decided that what I wanted to do is travel. The traditional path of college, job, and so on didn't appeal to me at all so here I am. I want to see more of the world and learn more about other cultures and ways of living.

I can't wait to embark on new adventures and create even more lasting memories.

*I don't drink, smoke, or party, so please don’t offer to host me if you are looking for someone to go drinking or clubbing with.*

P.S. As I am currently traveling full time I am unable to host anyone right now, however I look forward to doing so in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find Couchsurfing to be an affordable and enriching way to continue my passion for travel and I love that it lets you learn new things and meet many like-minded - and yet very different - people.
