I'm currently living in Tokyo as a teacher at an international school. I have lived in Japan for five years now. I lived in Northern Japan for 3. 5 and have been in Tokyo for 1.5 years. I love traveling around the world and taking pictures. I want to see as much of the world as possible and meet as many people! My mother is from Argentina so I'm used to living in a multi-cultural environment. I grew up with Russian (note my name) and Chinese influences as well as the obvious Hispanic lifestyle. I can cook and I love to cook for people :0D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and explore! I want to help people enjoy their time traveling! I also would love to meet locals as I travel around the world.

Interests

I have so many! I love photography, traveling, cooking, reading, film, video games, and just having fun adventures. I love being indoors and doing things, but I also love to go out and explore as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is a ridiculous question to ask someone who is a student of Media Arts haha I pretty much love all music and movies. When it comes to books I LOVE British Literature, but I also can be seen reading non-fiction and history books. I love to have conversations about media so if you love movies, music, and books you've come to the right place!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to go out on a salmon fishing boat for a day. I pulled in crabs, salmon, and other crazy sea creatures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook! I can teach someone how to make traditional Japanese food. It might be harder to do with a native if you can't understand the language! I can cook a lot of other foods as well. Also if you want a Japanese lesson I can help with that :0D I know the area really well so feel free to ask me what to do around Tokyo and Northern Japan!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking! I love to cook for people! I also can take pretty nice pictures so if you want some nice pictures taken of anything let me know! Cats, friends, plants, etc. haha I love talking! If you like in-depth discussions about culture, life, film, etc. I am the person to talk to.
