I am an open traveler with a deep curiosity and a psychologist’s insight, navigating the world with an adventurous spirit. As a podcaster and blogger, I enjoy sharing stories and perspectives, while my IT expertise adds a technical edge to my versatile skill set.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My dream is to explore as many countries as I can, meeting new people and immersing myself in diverse cultures. I’ve lived in seven cities—New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New Hampshire, Astana, and Karaganda—and visited Russia, Turkey, Canada, and Kyrgyzstan. Each place has introduced me to incredible individuals with inspiring stories about their lives and experiences. My vision and intention in life are to help people explore and grow in all spheres of their lives, creating opportunities for connection, understanding, and transformation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play my own transformation game, a reflective tool that helps explore personal growth, gain insights, and deepen self-awareness. It’s a meaningful way to connect with myself and others.
