Hi! My name is Vlad and I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. I work with toddlers with autism, as a special education teacher. I love my job and am truly blessed to have found it. I was born in Tblisi, but have lived in NYC since I was three years old.

I am into hiking, dancing, kickboxing and jut-jitsu; and stay as active as possible. I love food ( who doesn't haha), my family and friends. I am very interested in cultures and history. I also enjoy a day at the beach and a night out on the town.

**Just want to let prospective Coachsurfers know that my apartment is located in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn, which is about 50 minutes by train from Manhattan. I am walking distance to the beach and Coney Island though :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, learn how others live and view the world. I enjoy discussions and points of view.
