CURRENT MISSION

To see and do as much as possible for as long as I can

ABOUT ME

I work and live in Washington, DC. I have previously had the opportunity to live in Moscow, Russia; Madrid, Spain; and Viña del Mar, Chile each for more than one year. I have traveled to various parts of the former Soviet Union, South America and Europe. I like doing new things and gaining new experiences, especially when they involve foreign language and culture. I am a fan of great conversation and read as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to be able to meet people in the places that I visit and, whenever possible, to host people passing through Washington, DC.
