I've been back stateside for several years after a two-year stint studying in Tartu, Estonia and before that several years gallivanting around various parts of Russia/Ukraine. I've been in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since 2018. I've been so lucky to have the opportunity to live in four countries and love discovering new places, so I really value the opportunity to help others discover whatever city I happen to be living in at the moment. Recently decided to get back on Couchsurfing after an 8-9 year hiatus to see if it even still exists and am delighted to see that it does!

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Climbed through sand dunes on the Curonian Spit and descended onto a totally deserted beach on the Baltic Sea.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I'm sort of a fanatic when it comes to the Russian language. I will excitedly try to help anyone who is trying to learn it (and probably even those who aren't). I myself also love to learn bits of other languages.
