Overview
About Me
upd.: In Boston,MA since Sep, 2018 for M.S. in Bioengineering, @ Northeastern University, Fulbright fellow.
Love traveling, meeting new people, observing places alone or hanging out with friends.
I did a bunch of studies with mostly Physics, Electronics, Dosimetry and Bioengineering involved. Now my project is on human motor control and it's an exciting and pioneering one..
Travel has always been a uniqueopportunity for me. Vacations in Europe, Mid-East and Asia. Exchanges and competitions in Germany, Iran, Israel, Singapore and USA. Every trip builds me up and fills with understanding and sympathy towards the nations, cultures and traditions.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The CS makes it so easy to get in touch with the locals who are a treasure for a traveler in a new place. I remember how excited the visitors to my city were after a short tour with me and my friends, instead of an official tour.
Not only caring through sharing, but also learning about each other through simple common activities such as walking at park or cooking dinner - are tremendously facilitating and crucial for friendships.
Interests
It's a constant adaptation to the fast-changing reality while maintaining my basic principles: honesty, curiosity, and support.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
spent a night outside while backpacking in Bratislava (Slovakia)
skydived
got a tattoo, then a couple more
was a teamleader for school students at an international competition
well, it all seemed cool back then. probably I'm doing the most amazing thing right now and have no idea of it. Let's do it together!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love cooking and learn new methods and ways. Love doing it together. the two can act concerted at the kitchen for sure!
same for singing!
I can teach English (not to natives) and am always happy to learn it, as well as other languages.
I like snowboarding and taught a few friends to snowboard, it was exciting.
We always develop different talks on culture differences, and intercultural interactions.
I enjoy social dances a lot! Tango, bachata and salsa are awesome.
Communication and psychology always have been hard but interesting for me.
Sometimes it's the nature we all need. I get hugely relaxed when I go to my garden outside the city or work at a workshop there...
I also wish to learn the basics of sailing and sea navigation
What I Can Share with Hosts
World impressions, a cozy place, everything they need for a reasonably comfortable stay
I can talk, or give the space. Play guitar and sing or sit there and listen to you.
