I’m always focused on self-improvement. I’m always trying to either learn something new or learn to do things better. I lived in Raleigh, North Carolina most of my life and did two bachelors degrees there in Economics and International Studies, but now I am in Moscow, Russia studying Russian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to see the reality of life in a city as often it is more interesting to me than the touristic sights of the city. I also like to talk to people who actually live in the cities I visit as opposed to getting stuck in a bubble of tourist industry.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Lil Peep, $uicideboy$, Yung Lean, Folk Metal, Black Metal, Ambient, Eurodance, Pop-Punk, Classical, Folk Music, Sea Shanties. I generally like lots of different types of music, but generally don’t like Jazz or country.

Books: Russian Literature

I don’t watch TV and rarely watch any movies, so I am very culturally stupid if it comes to any references to these things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach about AMERICAN English and why it is better, or explain anything about different songs and subcultures from America. I also know a bit about training and ways to improve it.

Learn: I always hope to learn about new sports of athletic activities and learn to do them. There are really so many out there and so many small interesting ones to try.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversations about a variety of different topics. I can show you how to proper way to make a real American breakfast or hamburger.
