My name is Andrii Shytikov, I am an Applied Physics 3rd year student at EPFL.
Since my childhood I have been fond of natural sciences and have been trying to study the world as much as I could. And every year this affection keeps getting bigger and more exciting for me. In school years, I realized that physics is my destiny.
In the future I am planning to get engaged in the search for new cheap and clean sources of energy and the development and improvement of the old. Also, I would dream to find ways to accumulate it with the least losses and costs. And, of course, one of my dreams is to go to TOKAMAK ITER to solve the problems of thermonuclear fusion.
I love playing basketball and badminton, I love table tennis, I do athletics, gymnastics, I go hiking, swim and travel in my spare time. I’m a Christian and my passion is philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now I am a year 3 student, I love to travel with friends and meet new interesting people, share experience and knowledge about the world. Also, student life implies a lack of money:) but at the same time an excess of enthusiasm and a desire for new knowledge
