CURRENT MISSION

See the world while I can!

ABOUT ME

Hello! In between work I try to be an active traveler. I just wrapped up my last long trip where I started in Mongolia and traveled South to Cambodia. Currently I am still a nomad and also a constant joke-cracker. If you are kind enough to let me stay with you, I must warn you that there will be inevitable puns :) As for personal habits, I am a very clean person and I genuinely make an effort to do all the things a good houseguest should do. If I stay on your couch, you are guaranteed to see me washing dishes after meals and you will find all of my sheets in a neat folded stack when I leave.

PHILOSOPHY

Who I am is my word.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So I am currently only looking for couches to sleep on, but I would gladly offer my own couch once I move into a real home and invest in real furniture

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many! I have mostly couchsurfed in Europe and occasionally hosted guests while I lived in Hong Kong. All generally positive experiences!

Interests

Cooking!! My specialties include beer-battered fish tacos, apple-infused chicken, and almost anything you can think of that involves pumpkin. I would love to cook dinner for my couch hosts if at all possible, and swap the occasional recipe or two. I've even got a small collection of traditional Russian recipes in the off chance that meat and sour cream sound appetizing. Another huge interest of mine is public speaking. In addition to coaching high school students for speech and acting tournaments, I also coach adults on how to interview for entry level positions. I would be happy to offer up my cooking and/or coaching services in exchange for a place to spend the night while traveling :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When traveling in Bolivia, I biked “The World's Most Dangerous Road”--a 40 mile bike ride starting at 15,400 feet and descending to 3,600 feet above sea level along a dirt road that's on occasion barely 6 feet wide alongside a mountain with vertical drops of over 3,000 feet and hardly any guard rails!

Teach, Learn, Share

How big is infinity? Some sets have countably infinite elements while others have uncountably infinite elements. Which is bigger? Both are infinite, but uncountably infinite is bigger than countably infinite!
