I love Latin ballroom dancing, playing piano, watching The Bachelor, hanging out with my two adorable dogs, and inspiring people to start their own business online. My kids are now older and I am about to become an empty nester, so it's exciting to explore places, people, and cultures around the country and the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I work from home and live in a small town, so it's not easy to meet people and make new friends. Couchsurfing sounds like an exciting way to explore, connect, and open myself to new opportunities and ideas!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love time travel movies, classical music, musicals, and any music I can dance to! My favorite books are Pillars of the Earth, Girl on the Train, and the Outlander. I used to be obsessed with Friends because I've always wanted to have a group of close friends to hang out with and to share my life with! As a mom of two kids, I also love alone time. Maybe it'll change as my kids are older now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe a few things... Started dancing at 39, quit my job and became a work-at-home mom to my two kids, recorded an original piece of music in a professional recording studio, and started an online business before anyone knew what that meant.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I immigrated from Soviet Union in 1992, so have lots of interesting stories and experiences to share coming from a completely different world. I run a home-based business. I am very curious about life!
