Most likely you'll find me a bit shy, friendly and extremely curious about pretty much everything in this or fictional worlds and willing to play a tabletop or a video game at any time. I deeply love long conversations and connecting with couchsurfers by learning more about them and open myself to them in return, laughing at our silly sides along the way.

I was born in Russia and moved to the UK to work on PhD in Genetics. Research and scientific knowledge is truly my passion, along with philosophy and psychology, always happy to steer a conversation into a thought-provoking discussion. My easy-going side loves DnD and similar tabletop games in which I can roleplay and use imagination, videogames, long-haul travelling with a backpack with forests being my most favourite biome to travel to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all around the world, share life stories, cultures, different ways of life and experience. Be friendly and kind to others and feel friendly attitude in return.

Interests

I don't have a broad range of interests and over time figured out a few things I enjoy the most. But that doesn't mean I'm not interested in what other people find exciting. I am always happy to listen and learn more about interests of other people I meet!

• video games
• hiking
• camping
• international relations
• philosophy
• psychology
• science
• nature
• wilderness
• deep conversations
• debating
• dungeons and dragons

Music, Movies, and Books

Instrumental music to fit the current mood, mostly folk or metal.
Not a big movie watcher, but with the right company a drama or sci-fi can be a great way to spend time.
Books I prefer most are of fantasy (Goodkind, Tolkien, Rothfuss), sci-fi (Wilson, Jemisin) genres and philosophy (epistemology and ontology).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opened up to people being an extremely introverted person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be more into talking about common interests and sharing life experience and that would be teaching and learning all while socially connecting with people, isn't that truly amazing. Who wouldn't want that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to bring with me food and stories, my life experience and a piece of culture. Perhaps a bit quirky personality passionate about scientific research, psychology and forests and gaming.

As a guest I am always considerate of the host's home and understand that it is their personal space (so I keep things tidy, stay quiet, leave the place as it was, clean and comfortable for future guests).
