I just recently moved to Kansas and I am pursuing my PhD in Couple and Family Therapy :) I work as a Therapist as well and provide counseling services for people with substance abuse, mental illness, suicidal ideation and relationship problems.

I am a wanderer to the bone and I am constantly exploring the world :) I am deeply connected to my homeland (I was born on Lake Baikal) and I enjoy being in the wilderness, meeting sunrises and sunsets, and watching beautiful cloud formations. I am a photographer and I hope one day to make a living out of my passion for nature photography.

I love meeting new people, hear their stories, share my passion, be surprised and fascinated...it makes me feel the most alive.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I believe in the idea of giving :) If everyone on this Earth was able to follow his dreams this world would be full of happy people. I believe Couchsurfing adds to the happiness of the world 🌻

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I have lots of things to share. I can tell stories and legends about Lake Baikal. I can teach you Rissian :) I am also pretty good at photography and I can do a few shots for you. I used to be a good cook but I would not risk it in the US ;)
