CURRENT MISSION To not die in a Russian-made elevator. ABOUT ME I'm a college student from Oklahoma currently studying in Russia until June 2011. So far I'm enjoying it, and it seems the natives are enjoying me as well. Like a lot of people on this site, I'm fairly easygoing. I'm willing to brush most things off, and I occasionally manage to make people around me laugh (or moan about my terrible jokes). My mannerisms and accent are typical for Oklahoma, but quite unusual for Europe where it seems everyone is trying to learn "proper English". I like to do nerdy things, and can sit for endless hours on the computer watching videos of Japanese cats jumping into boxes. However, I also love to hang out, and definitely want to experience the world. PHILOSOPHY The Dude abides.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Stayed on couple couches in The Netherlands, and Ukraine in January (2011). Overall, it was an awesome experience and I'm hoping I can maybe host some people when I get back home. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I slept in a stairwell in a couple weeks ago. Hopefully your couch is more comfortable than that.

My Interests
I absolutely love debating history, and discussing movies. I consider myself a Russophile, and absolutely love talking about all things Russian (in English). :P I have two aquariums back in Oklahoma, and I love fish. I'm also spend way too much time and money on my electronics.
