CURRENT MISSION
Traveling to Africa, Europe, China and South America before returning to San Francisco to start my masters in psychology.

My intention is to be open to the Universe, to immerse myself in different cultures, and to share a connection with at least one person in each location I visit. Additionally, I will be setting out to volunteer on HelpEx projects, and will get Yoga Certified in South America.

5 Things I can't live without include: love, great friends, my brother, music, and cute animals.

What it's like to have my as a guest: I am very considerate of others and well mannered. I am respectful of people's schedules, space, and opinions. I like to create an open environment that welcomes comfort, intellectual conversations, and laughter.

I am a new user of couchsurfing.com. I have heard great things and am so happy that social goodness is now so accessible.

I am an half Chinese half Russian, grew up with my brother and my dad so super down to earth and easy going, and believe in living an honest and fulfilling life.

My life motto comes from Neil deGrasse Tyson; “For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling for the next 5 months till January 2016. I quit my job at LinkedIn in April 2015 and have been a vagabond since. My goal is to hit at least 3 continents, and learn more about different cultures. The biggest plus would be to find interesting friends that I instantly click with because of a shared philosophy. This is my break between the corporate world and going back to school to get my masters! I wish for the best.
