I am a Russian immigrant living in US for the past 18 years. I love outdoors and spend most of my time white water kayaking, rafting and SUPing and skiing and hiking when it is cold. I recently moved from Boston MA to Asheville, NC so I can kayak year around! I love to travel and hopefully I will have time to see the most of the world. I love meeting people from different cultures and learn about our differences and similarities and I am so grateful to couchsurfing that made my travels so much more interesting! Besides outdoors and travel, I love dancing salsa and made numerous attempt at learning Spanish, which I think will be my hobbie for the rest of my life, as I find the language and the culture fascinating.
