ABOUT ME

I am a former introvert nerdy guy, who decided to ditch my "comfort zone" and meet new people. I just graduated from PhD program and now I am trying to meet as many new people as possible before I settle.

I was born in the same city as Lenin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin) in Russia, spend my childhood in 1600 year old town of Chernigiv, Ukraine. Studied for almost 10 years in Kiev, Ukraine and last 5 years in South California, US.

I speak English, Russian and Ukrainian. Seeking to learn German.

PHILOSOPHY

I am against borders and any obstacles for people interactions. Free market and open information FTW

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just starting proper Couch Surfing :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experience consists of lending my couch to my existing friends or using their's, which isn't exactly count but, hey, at least I get to know that such culture exists. Now, since I ran out of friends I need to expand my friends network.

I enjoy photography; love driving cars, anything related to cars actually so total gear-head; always seeking new knowledge (TIL subreddit is my favorite place on the internet)
