hi! I was born and raised in Russia, but New York City has been my home for the past ten years. I have a small restaurant business in NYC. I really love the city, but do my best to get out of it as often as possible, taking trips from a few months to a few days long. Traveling is one of my greatest passions, and I have backpacked in many countries.

I'm a person with many interests and I'm constantly striving to escape the routine and find magic in little things. I do my best to live in the moment and embrace the unknown. The Universe smiles to those who trust her :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been a guest a number of times and welcomed people in my place once. I have been out of the community for the past year, since I lived with roommates, who were not so opened to the couchsurfing idea. I finally got a great place of my own and will be happy to host people.

Interests

Nature, hiking, camping, music, art, design, cooking, yoga, books, good conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to give you as much directions and recommendations about the city as possible. I would really encourage you to go off the beaten path. I would love to hang out with you and take you places, as long as I'm not too overwhelmed with work.
