First-time couchsurfer!

I am currently exploring my interest in biology and planning to be in Boston during February and March (2020) to volunteer at the community do-it-yourself biology lab (boslab). I want to visit open MIT lectures devoted to biology, genetics, and submerge myself in university life and bio-ecosystem without actually being a student. I am looking for a place to stay.

Previously code developer of Bitcoin-related protocols, now more of a product guy. I have co-founded Bitcoin-related projects and interested in making the product people want.

I'll be pretty quiet, not keen on loud bars, dance parties, drinking, and smoking. I would like to keep a schedule and stay healthy. So don't expect me to go out with you at night : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be involved in the Boston science life and culture.

Interests

I like hacking stuff, I like understanding how things work. Some time ago I started thinking of insects as aliens who have interesting abilities, that makes them super interesting. Also, I would really love to visit a natural history or engineering museum, or some art project related to science.

Don't usually watch movies.
Love watching Rick and Morty, Modern Family and standup comedy though.
Sometimes re-watching Harry Potter in a million times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed sane

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you about Bitcoin and the Russian language! We could hack wifi password with, or participate in the small self-made hackathon, or anything else which requires prototyping the product.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can sing and play guitar and miss all the tones, making all around to cringe.
I can bake a cookie to the state of being coals, and ask you to try it and make you lie it is good.
