I'm an easy-going 25 year old Californian who dropped his surfboard and hopped on a one-way flight to Siberia. What can I say about myself... ? I love new experiences and spontaneous (sometimes reckless) decisions. Maybe that's why I'm living in Russia right now?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since moving to Novosibirsk, Siberia, a friend recommended I try this site. I'll be visiting St. Petersburg and Moscow soon, and am hoping to meet some locals. I'm a very independent traveler. A shower, couch, and some helpful hints would be more than enough. But of course if you have spare time, I'd love to walk or see the city with you.

Interests

Extremely passionate about art, especially with oil paints. I also love playing and singing on my guitar, dancing, motorcycles, and of course new tattoos.
