CURRENT MISSION to connect with other couchsurfers ABOUT ME I travel as frequently as I can and have lived in several places. I feel happiest when I'm on the go usually but I'm working on sitting still for a bit too. I'm 100% Russian though I grew up for a chunk of my life in Buenos Aires, then 40 miles outside NYC. I've lived in San Diego, San Francisco, Omega center for holistic studies upstate NY, Thailand, Cambridge, MA, Princeton in NJ, and of course, Buenos Aires. I love the idea of courchsurfing and connecting with traveling culture, it's a part of who i am. Just went to Italy and Paris. Want to see more of Europe like Berlin, also NZ and Australia, Brazil, Cuba, and much more. One of my favorite places to live is Utah and the southwest too. I am currently living in La Jolla and will meet other couchsurfers. PHILOSOPHY I enjoy being traveling light, both literally and metaphorically speaking. I think the biggest joy in life is to create, to connect with the larger things, to help in some way while being yourself. It's a material world we live in and I do fine within it, but the superficiality often gets to me.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I loved biking down the coast of CA though it was tough, especially near Big Sur. The beaches in Thailand at night were pretty sweet. I loved all the Gaudi architecture in Barcelona, and walking around San Miguel de Allende.
