Hello! I'm a moderately small human and artist who has been traveling and bumbling around to new places over these last few years, and will now be joined by my sweet partner, Dima! So prepare for double trouble. We're a pretty easy going pair and spend most of our time petting street cats, exploring new places and searching to replenish our stash of coffee beans when we're not working.

Dima's CS profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/dima-cherednichenko

I myself am an avid nature lover and explorer, and am always looking for a good laugh. I'd say I'm pretty friendly and easygoing and am always very comfortable in any situation I've stumbled into. I'm always down for a good banter session over a pint or cup of coffee and exciting food expeditions.

Also, my life mostly revolves around stressing over the current painting I'm chipping away at, so if you want to get a good kick out of some weird looking art of mine: https://www.instagram.com/kitmizeresart/?hl=en

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to travel and to get to truly understand a new place is by getting to know those who love and live in that location themselves, hands down. It's the people you come in contact with on those trips who dwell in your memories for the many years to come, more so than the place itself, from my experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love listening to a wide range of randoms but especially enjoy lo-fi psychedelic rock and funk, folk, indie alternative, and so on.

I completely fit the art school stereotype because yes I do really really shamelessly love all of those Wes Anderson films, Miyazaki films, Coen Brothers, Tarantino and so on. And I have a huge appreciation for a wide variety of animations and cartoons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled out of an RV for a month with a handful of wonderful strangers where we were sponsored to paint murals in several different cities in the USA. Nothing like bonding with new people trapped in a stinky van without showering for days on end, it was so magical. That very trip was what inspired me to continue a road trip of my own that ended up lasting over a year where I then lived out of my car and explored America, and eventually got me to where I am now with my current international travels abroad.

Teach, Learn, Share

-I can show you how a real slap is done in whiskey slaps! And perhaps paint, if you'd like!

-Things I would like to learn: how to drive stick/manual vehicles, how to be a better cook, how to quit being such a spaz and to calm down

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can doodle for you, in exchange for your stories, laughter and affection!
