Update: had to leave Russia with the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine and now doing Masters in the States.

I am in love with people and spaces which has made me not only a couch surfer but also an urban researcher. I work at an intersection of social sciences, arts, architecture, informal learning, and activism. If you are ever in my city, I can give you a tour around everything that is DIY, grassroots, and temporary. I am proud that I have made engaging with strangers at unexpected places a part of my job.

My best experiences in life were when I walked for a very long time: once I walked across the whole state of Mississippi, and recently I have covered 180 km on foot through the Russian tundra (one can never have enough of moss!). Other things that are important to me are coffee, books, and changing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
