ABOUT ME

Hey there!:)
I am a PhD student at the Uni of Queensland studying biomedical science.
Originally I am from Russia, but I do not like cold winter, bears and vodka:)))
If I have only three words to describe my personality I would choose 'positive', 'passionate', 'easy-going'.. I love meeting new people, love communicating with them.. I am a really good listener, and interested in many different aspects of this life... Except politics!!! Let's find another topic to talk!:)))
I am trying to live a healthy lifestyle.. like early-morning jogging, it makes me feel relaxed and alive. Cook usually at home and try to be wise with what I eat.. But as a normal human being sometimes have a glass of wine or beer:)
I cannot say that I like to spend a lot of time visiting museums: mostly I prefer walking around a new place and communication with people who live there.
Hate to write about myself:)),so I am gonna stop at this point:) ask me please if you want to know something else!:)

PHILOSOPHY

Believe in yourself and live your dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is the best way to have a real impression about the place you go to: to live with real locals...

Interests

I like people! Love to listen their stories and be part of their lives.. Crazy but true:) Of course I am interested in my research as well: drug delivery systems.. But I am not an introvert who spends 90% of their lives in the lab:)
I love travelling, because it sets me free and opens different perspectives... Also it's again about meeting new people:)
I like reading, but I am not a big crazy reader.. Trying to read more though:) mostly I prefer self-biography books, or psychology books that motivate me, and other non-fiction.
I prefer to live a healthy lifestyle, and my another interest is food chemistry.. Potentially it is the field of my future career development:)
I like dancing, sometimes can dance all night long.. :) but do not do it often, since usually try to wake up earlier!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love folk, and sometimes a pop-rock.. But it depends on my mood pretty much

Movies: it's difficult to choose one, I do not like movies to be honest..
