Hello!

My name is Alexa, I'm a Data Science MSc student in London, England. I'm researching networks and how they can put together pieces of data in new and novel ways.

I'm an active member of any Ukrainian diaspora community I find myself in, and love to dance sing, and paint traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs (Google it!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favourite part of living abroad is not where I am, but who I'm with, and who I meet. My previous experiences with CS brought me to interesting places with incredible people, and that is what life is all about!
