I'm a vegan foodie and recipe developer who lives in NYC for already 9 years and works as a full-time street style photographer. I've photographed people of 62 nations and love learning about different cultures (and especially their traditional food). I love traveling - I visited 16 countries and planning to visit at least 84 more :)

I live with my boyfriend Vlad - the same vegan and foodie as me. Besides cooking and eating, we love watching psychological movies, singing/playing guitar, decluttering our home, enjoying a cozy atmosphere.

We aren't about noisy crowded parties, where there's no chance for a good talk.
We love woods and mountains over beaches, overcast over sunny, restaurants over museums, NYC over LA, savory over sweet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I think the best way to explore the new countries, cities, and cultures is to learn about them from locals.
I would love to meet people from all over the world who share my interests and values and to make new friends.
