CURRENT MISSION

Finish Gravity's Rainbow

ABOUT ME

I was living in Moscow the past two years, but I just moved forever. I am now in a transitional state this summer as I travel around Europe with a small suitcase and an umbrella. In the near future, I will be moving to Chicago to start graduate school in Russian literature. I will be there a long time.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment I would say I'm something of an existential hedonist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed (this is now a verb, right?) in China and France. Met some great characters and hope to add some to my list. Unfortunately, my current lifestyle doesn't allow me to host at the moment!

Interests

Performance Art Projects. Making lists. Writing and reading. Cooking, eating and drinking. Grammar and Games.
