Born and raised in Russia, I lived in the US from 2012 to 2023 (Alaska and Oregon). Currently I am living in Vancouver, BC as I'm getting a masters degree in transportation engineering.
I'm a very outdoorsy person (rock climbing, skiing, backpacking..) but I also love spending time in good company. Love cooking and sharing food with other people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have made so many unforgettable memories with people I've met while traveling . I haven't used CS to host or stay in a while but back in 2014 I spent multiple months traveling around the US and Europe, oftentimes staying with people from the CS community
