About Me

Hey! I'm Masha and I'm a grad student currently living in Pasadena, CA. Although I was born in Moscow, I grew up in Oregon and then went to college in Chicago. I love traveling, backpacking, rock climbing, reading, knitting, and drinking wine on the floor of our kitchen with my roommates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my favorite experiences have been meeting people while traveling. I love making new friends and hearing other people's stories.

Interests

I really like being outside, hiking, rock climbing, swimming in the ocean, and exploring wild places. I also like to just read a good book on my couch with a glass of wine. I love traveling, meeting new people, and eating good food. I am also interested in photography, science, and trying new thing.
