CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world´s passions one person at a time

ABOUT ME

I am currently on a mission to live life to the fullest. Every wrong turn, mistake, and completed goal is life and I am doing my best to appreciate every second of it. I am an American, born in California but I grew up in Russia and Ukraine. I came back to the US for university and currently call San Diego home. I spent a year traveling and working in South America.
My Couchsurfing experiences are some the best ones from my trips! I cannot wait to keep exploring and meeting as many locals as I can to get the most real experience possible! I look forward to meeting you on this crazy couch-surfing journey!

PHILOSOPHY

A life without risks is not one worth living. Do what you can to leave the world a little better and inspire others to do greatness along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love getting a local perspective of every country. I go to couch events in San Diego and have stayed with many hosts in different countries.

COUCHSURFING
The best experiences I had while traveling were from Couchsurfing. From traditional asados in Argentina to temple visiting in Indonesia, it’s amazing!

Interests

Traveling! Exploring new places and meeting new people. The experiences you do not plan are usually the best ones you have! I am very interested in dancing, human rights, history, medicine, art, scuba diving, and i love music!

Teach, Learn, Share

I will have to come back to this one! Live a life with no regret because you learn from every mistake and you cannot change the past so regret will do you no good. I can share lots of travel experience in various continents and lots of crazy stories that go with that.
