I am a writer and a reader, I live in a way that takes me away from places regularly, because I can't imagine sitting too long on the spot. I love speed and driving, I love India and I seriously consider living outside of Europe in the future. I don't yet know where, but I am determined to travel around until I find the place. I don't enjoy conventional employment and cannot imagine working in an office (anymore). I do a lot of things, many of which involve writing, but also have my own health foods export and consulting business . I guess I am a feminist, but I strongly believe that labels are for those who misbehave (hehe) therefore in a better world I would just be normal, but those who aren't feminists would be called sexist (I'm not aggressive in my approach but still! :) ). I studied analytical philosophy and focused on applied ethics, bioethics, logic and philosophy of science. Bioethics is technically my field of expertise, and I find it incredibly exciting - and while I don't exactly work in the field right now, I believe that my education helps me make saner, kinder and more reasonable choices in life and ultimately be more understanding of the differences between people, opinions and the millions of different ways of living. Which, I believe, is not a small deal in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to explore places from a non-touristy perspective, meet amazing people from different places and backgrounds, and let the life unfold on its own terms, because our imagination can only take us thus far...

Music, Movies, and Books

I always listen to soundtracks of movies and TV shows, and get hooked up on a couple of songs which I then add to my super-hits playlist and can listen to forever...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one amazing year in India after which I realized that I probably won't end up living the rest of my life in Europe...

Teach, Learn, Share

"Teach" is a big word, but I guess I could offer a fun discussion about a bunch of analytical philosophy topics, including such fun stuff as bioethics (stem cells, genetic engineering, surrogacy, construction of the ideas of disability etc.), as well as about meditation (and can offer some simple methods too).
As for learning - it would be great to learn about the place the other person is from - whatever they think is important to share.
