Hey there, my name is Marina.

Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, I moved to San Francisco, CA in 2011. Since then, I moved around quite a bit and I currently live in downtown Boise, ID. I'm a UX designer at a local tech company. I am pretty busy, but flexible and can accommodate various arrival times.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't used CS for a while - but now I am back. I live alone and can offer a couch in my living room, food, some drinks, and great tunes. As a host, I like meeting people and Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to connect and meet new friends. As a traveler, I appreciate the opportunity to meet and hang out with locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I had 2 great Couchsurfing experiences in Amsterdam back in 2010 and one in Vietnam in 2018. Looking forward to more!
