Hi,everyone! My name is Sofia. I was born and raised in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. At the age of 20 I have moved to the United States. I am a photographer based in Seattle. I am a very friendly and outgoing person, who likes meeting new people, exploring new cultures and learning foreign languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very passionate about traveling! However, sometimes it can be very expensive. That is why I like the whole concept of Couchsurfing. It gives people a great opportunity to explore different cities, countries and cultures without spending a lot of money. I believe that everyone deserves a chance to see the world.
