I like to laugh and see the good in people. I think the world is a pretty wonderful place and I'm very happy with where I am right now. People could say I'm bouncy person - the way that I move, the way that I speak and how my thoughts flow sometimes. I get really inspired by big ideas, passionate people and honest, good work. Born in Uzbekistan, moved to New York when I was 9 and now am in my last year of undergrad at the University of Missouri.

PHILOSOPHY

Say yes to more. Fear never led to a good adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CouchSurfing is changing the way people experience the world and I want to be a part of it. It shows kindness in strangers and allows people to connect on a whole new level. I want to meet locals, go to their favorite spots and do the things they do. Couchsurfing allows people to be travelers, not tourists.
