My name is Olga. I moved to California from Belarus/Russia in 2003. I’m practically an American at this point! Haha I love to travel & explore new cultures. Love languages & art. I’m very active- I like to go hiking & work out to stay in shape. I love the ocean & love 15 mins away from the beach. I have a dog - Valentino. He is a pit/lab mix & is the best! I have 1 female roommate that is also very adventurous & loves to travel & meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel. I have a couple friends who have used Couchsurfing in the past & had great experiences! So I’m giving it a try as well. Hoping to meet more interesting people from all over the world! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC:
I love all music, but I mostly listen to EDM/house, alternative music, pop, some classic punk rock, jazz.. not a big fan of rap or country music.

MOVIES:
I like comedies & action movies. Top favorites: Wedding Crashers, Mr & Mrs Smith, The A Team, Eat Pray Love, Devil Wears Prada (yes.. haha)

BOOKS:
I love audiobooks. My daily commute to work is 40+ mins so audible helps kill time & learn something new! I love self-development books. Latest read: The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho.
