I am 26 and have a passion for history, fantasy literature, and human rights. I have lived in Russia and Canada and have traveled to USA, Europe (Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium), Mexico and Peru. I love animals and currently co-exist with two adorable kitties. I currently work in supportive housing and homeless shelters in British Columbia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy going hiking, camping, and traveling in general. I am looking to couchsurf around the world and meet people and show them around Vancouver when I am there!
