I was originally born in Russia and moved the U.S. when I was 7 years old. I live in Minnesota, U.S.A., and love to travel. I work in health care but used to be a lawyer. My interests include, cooking (and trying other foods), skiing, fitness, dancing, and travel.

I'm an Administrator a health care company and enjoy helping others. I love to have a drink, go to parties, get into silly trouble and travel around the world.

I'm here on Couchsurfing to first and foremost meet new people, get connected with interesting people and make friends along the way whether I'm back at home or traveling!

I just joined Couchsurfing and am curious to see what kinds of connections I can make. A lot of time, I book a hotel when I travel, so I am not necessarily looking for someone to stay with. Instead, I prefer to go out with someone curious like myself or knowledgeable about the area I visit. As a 4 time participant of Burning Man festival in the U.S., I am very friendly and respectful to everyone I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
