About Me

I'm an enthusiastic person who loves life, its challenges, adventures and try to stay positive in every situation. But with all that I still think in advance and like when things are done properly.

I respect all oppinions, life choices and worldviews and always very excited to hear life stories. Because I'm still figuring out how to live this life, what's important, I'd be happy to know your thoughts and share mine.

Most of the time in Moscow I study, work in the laboratory, write science-popular texts or hang out with my friends. Sometimes I perform with standup and long form improv comedy shows (it's like a theater play, but not scripted).

Also I love any kind of sports, including chess and even curling. I used to swim professionally when I was in school and played volleyball during first two years of studies. Then I learned how to play tennis but didn't have much practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very passionate about meeting new people, hear their stories and get to know culture from the inside. I think Couchsurfing is not really about couches (which is still a good opportunity to spend some nights in a cosy atmosphere), but more about people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything from Katy Perry to Slipknot including Beethoven. Currently in my playlist there are a lot of Rammstein, Billy Eilish, electronic and jazz.
Drama films are mostly have good plot and deep ideas to think of. That's why I'd prefer them to other genres.
As for books, I read mostly science popular literature and trying to read The Clown by H.Böll in German.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a high flight once I saw how the Sun was rising. On the on side of the Earth there was darkness with stars, on the other - bright sunrise. Some part of the planet was covered by the electrical lights and another was lit by the Sun. All together it made a really amazing picture!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travel stories from China, where I spent 1,5 months or any other experience I had.
If you're interested, I'll tell you something about science and Russian culture.
