Hey!

Emerged from the nerdiest circles of physics scholars. Back then it used to be my everything, but now I am more centered on the world around and on how to change it for better. Or at least how not to make it worse)

Keen on exploring various modes of movement -- I greatly enjoy hiking, made several multiday kayaking trips and mountain treks. Slowly learning sailing, one day wang to do a long distance biking trip.

My latest passion is Lindy Hop (and possibly other swing dances). If there is a social event happening are your place pls let me know. Also open to Salsa lessons, though I am a complete amateur here.

Regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war:
I was in Russia when it started and moved out soon afterwards. I am affected by it, though way less than those who lost their homes, loved ones or their own lives. I don't mind talking about it, though I am not sure if I can tell more than a common knowledge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To give and take: a place to sleep, a stories to tell and a company to be with)

Spent a night alone in the jungle
