I am a medical student and research fellow of the Mayo Medical Center, Rochester. I came to the US from Russia this summer. Now I am discovering the North America in different ways - culture, food, education, medicine.
I love the idea of meeting new people along the way that I would never met on a conventional path. Getting to know them, the way they live, being maybe even a part of their life for a short amount of time - for me it is a deeper experience of traveling and making connections. I also hope friendships develop on my way because this would be the most valuable thing to me. And I would as well also love to be a host in my town when coming home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The International community is so great, there are nice people all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Very interested in learning about different cultures, and how cities other than those that I've lived in operate. It's always fun figuring out the quirks that make each city just a bit different than anywhere else.
