I was in the U.S as an exchange student in 2022-2023 in a small town in Colorado. I have visited 19 states and learned a lot about American culture. After I came back home, I finished my undergraduate degree in Linguistics (Spanish and English) and decided to come back to the U.S to pursue my master's degree.

Now I'm major in College Counselling & Student Development program at St. Cloud State University and work as a graduate assisstant with international students.

I love teaching, spending time outdoors (doing any kind of physical activities. I'm a very bubbly and optimistic person who loves learning something new.

I'm travelling with my friend, she's an international student from Russia too. She is doing MBA at St Cloud State. She's fond of jogging and dancing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was traveling all over the States through couchsurfing. I have met so many wonderful people with whom we shared stories, visions and dreams. I have learned a lot about American culture and the way people live here. Most importantly, I have made some long-lasting connections.

I'm back because I'm eager to meet new people, connect and share some great memories together!

Teach, Learn, Share

Having different majors and living in different parts of our world teach us to see differences between people of different nations. We can share anything you want to know about Russian culture!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can teach you how to cook some Russian dishes. More than that, we have a lot of different stories to tell. Comparing our motherlands with America always brings us many different surprises. We hope our experience of living abroad will be useful for you!
