Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, I am now a Master student at Mannheim University, Germany. I also love learning new languages, and really love learning other people as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and learning new cultures, and wish I could visit as many countries as possible. As for now, I want to get a great experience traveling around US during my spring break.
I have never tried CS before an that is the reason I have no responses, but I would really love to become an active member of this community!
