Hi, I'm Aleksandra! I'm a space medicine professional, and I am moving to Europe to continue my studies. I really wish to travel around Europe during my Master's program and I hope Couch Surfing community could help me with that. I can share a ton of cool facts about space, medicine, microbiology, and we can go stargazing where I show you the night sky!
