I'm an American traveling from San Jose, CA, originally from Ukraine or Chicago, hard to decide which I'm most loyal to.

I love to appreciate life, never take any moment for granted. I am passionate about spreading love and understanding to everyone I meet. I believe that the pursuit of happiness is the purpose of life.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I believe there is something to learn from every person I meet. Everyone has been on their own journey with their own stories to tell and beliefs to share, and I would love to get these perspectives from people around the world.
Also I get really bored staying alone in a hotel when I travel solo!

Intereses

I love music--dancing, going to concerts, festivals, jamming in the shower, etc.
I love to hike, exercise, go camping, and party with my friends, but having deep & intense conversations is my favorite hobby of all. I love to discuss Economics, politics, gender/sexuality, the meaning of life, sociology, psychology, and philosophy.
I talk a lot but have never been called boring before.

Música, películas y libros

My music taste is eclectic to say the least. I love alternative rock, hip hop, deep house, tech house, drum n bass, folk rock, good pop classics, motown, and of course those old ballads. I feel like I never give my taste justice by naming artists/genres because there is so much music I like out there!

I love movies and I watch an egregious amount of Netflix.
Favorite shows:
Dexter
Lost
Shameless
True Detective
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,
Rick & Morty
and many more

Movies
Any Tarantino, especially Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown
Just about anything Disney pre-2006
Clerks 2
Interstellar

Books
Watchmen
Gone Girl

Algo increíble que he hecho

Helped start a company developing a mental health and stress-relieving app; worked on a PSA about anti-bullying with an Illinois state Senator; spent more than 24 consecutive hours drunk and only sustained minor injuries

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach how to accept others more easily and become more comfortable with yourself. Many have told me that I have brought a lot of insight and light into their life. Nothing makes me happier than improving the life of someone else.
I can also help you with your English, I have experience in tutoring non-native speakers.

I can learn anything. We are never done.

I will share anything I can. Will probably be traveling light but would love to cook a wine & pasta dinner :)
