About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be spiritually open, travel the world, and become immersed in different cultures, meeting and learning from people.

ABOUT ME

I was born in the Ukraine, and moved to San Diego with my family when I was 8. When I was 18 I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, and lived there for 7 years. After graduating college, I have been lucky enough to travel for work and have gotten to live in Vancouver, Canada, and Adelaide, Australia.

I love to experience life and to learn. I am very easy to get along with, and love meeting new people. I also really like to explore new places, sometimes by myself and sometimes with others. I love to dance, sing, experience new music and joke around. I love food, and am a vegetarian so I'm always looking for new restaurants and dishes different cultures, and places, have to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Where there is a will there's a way. If you want it, just do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started traveling for enjoyment, but have been jumping around for work for the past 1.5 years. At the moment I don't have a home to share, but I hope to provide a place to stay to some fellow travelers once I do. I'm letting people know about the community, and making friends through it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've gone to a few CS gatherings that were fun and will be going to more. I've enjoyed the people I've met and experiences I've had but I have not couch surfed much yet.
