I am Olga, a traveller who is exploring the world, documenting culture, and studying the customs of people all around the world

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing provides travelers a method to connect with local people and to learn about places and things that a tourist would not find in a Fodor's Travel Guide.

Let's share stories, secrets, and songs together. What's the point of being strangers?

I am pursuing museum curation and recently opened my own independent art space in Cleveland, OH. I focus on exhibiting underexposed contemporary artists and my primary goal is creating a sense of community by bringing artists, musicians, and filmmakers together to share ideas and grow.

Algo increíble que he hecho

During my first road trip across the United States, my banjo-swinging best friend and I found a full case of beer in the middle of the desert in the American Southwest . . .

A hallucination? A figment of our imagination? A mirage?
Real or fiction,
it was the most refreshing and delicious surprise
