Hey! I am exchange student from Russia, explorer of the world and coffee lover.
Also, I am a former dancer - during my childhood I traveled with concerts around the world. From that moment, I can't stop traveling. One day I decided to change everything and moved to the USA for an year. So, here I am!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great place to meet new interesting people and opportunity to learn about different cultures from inside!
I hate tourist guidebooks and organized trips. It is much more interesting to learn the country by yourself.
