I'm an exchange student from Russia, and currently I am living in Bethlehem, PA. I am planning on traveling around the country during study breaks! I am really into linguistics, in particular neuro- and psycholinguistics. Also, I love programming and bioinformatics. Considering sports, I work out pretty often and recently have started to do boxing. When I was little, I used to do ballet, and I miss it now and then. I adore exploring and just do my best to live this awesome life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people who are locals and, thus, could tell about unique places to visit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be honest, I believe I still have not done anything truly great, but I just recalled that my work (research in particular) at the Centre for Speech Pathology and Neurorehabilitation helps tremendously to people with speech impairments such as aphasia. This is what renders me speechless every time. We are contributing to the global community, and this is beyond any words.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a life long learner and always open to novel things! I love sharing my worldview and discussing philosophical and complicated matters.
