I live for adventure, to learn about other cultures, talk/ share ideas and listen/ tell stories.

I'm an expert of the English language and I'm slowly teaching myself Russian. I love hanging out with friends, having good times and enjoying life. I'm honest, friendly, trustworthy and very funny :)

I'm looking for good friends and hosts to show me around in Minsk and Pinsk, increase my international knowledge and help me have great experiences, while I make my way across Russia to my "motherland" of Pinsk.

I have little experience traveling internationally, outside the U.S. :/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never I have little experience traveling internationally, outside the U.S.

My family immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900's from Belorussia. I am visiting to explore my family history/ culture. New to Couch Surfing.

Looking for great friends to guide me around town in Minsk and Pinsk, increase my international knowledge and help me have the best possible adventure experience while I make my way across Russia to my "motherland."
