Hello!

I’m an American and I like to travel (like most people here). Currently I’m living in Saint Petersburg, Russia and working as a teacher. I’m in Russia because I received a degree in Russian studies and wanted some hands-on experience. I’m a naturally outgoing and culturally curious person. Also, a vegetarian (but I don’t look down on others!), non-smoker, and rare drinker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like meeting new people and having the local experience than sleeping in hotels which all feel so cookie cutter.
