Hellou CS community! My name is Andrei and have recently joined this platform. I was born and raised in Romania (Dracula's home country :D arrr), got married last year and have 100% Balkan / Eastern Europe blood and spirit: serious (when necessary!), adaptable, hardworking, very creative mind, free spirit, excited about science etc. While Romanians might be descendent of Dracula, I am a happy and very positive person with no affinity whatsoever for blood :D Loving making people laugh and always enjoy intercultural exchange with different people of various backgrounds and nationalities. Moreover, I love long (hiking) trips, explore new places and people and have friends all around the world. Looking forward to meet you on this platform!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet happy people around the Jupiter area, make friends of various nationalities and enjoy my (our) stay in the US (though temporary, but who knows?). I am eager to experience and explore the US culture, visit as much as I can from US and enjoy great science at the Scripps Research Institute.

Interests

I like sports a lot, both watching and practicing. Mostly I enjoy basketball, tennis and table tennis, soccer (huge fan of FC Barcelona and Messi) and would like to learn how to play baseball for example. Enjoying science a lot, everything from good chemistry to weird biology, fascinated about everything that happens in nature...Love the mountains and (hiking) trips, discover small / big cities and get in contact with the locals. In addition, having a good beer with nice people on the beach is something that I can get used to :D. Always willing to explore and learn new things anytime and everywhere...

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything that suggest a strong message with good lyrics and beats, but mostly hip-hop and rock music. I mostly enjoy thriller series/ movies but a good action movie is always very welcome. Books...neah, not my type anymore....I used to read thriller books but with so many good TV series available...
