About Me

I'm a easy-going and good mood person, calm and quiet. I have finished my PhD in chemistry in Marseille, now I'm doing my first postdoc in Strasbourg, in Charles Sadron Institute.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share good moments with other people! Also, to find a place to sleep and to host the travelers. My door is now open in Strasbourg.

When I lived in Marseille, I hosted some people, but not through Couchsurfing. They were my friends and friends of my friends :)

Interests

I'm interested in physiology, how brain works, biology and animal behavior. I'm interested in economics and investments, but don't have much to say about that, so I will more listen than speak :)
I love great literature and will discuss with great pleasure about personages, their motivation etc.
I try to bring some sports in my life, s owe can do some stretching together or have a bike trip.

Music, Movies, and Books

Now I know how it's called: country music :) I also like blues a lot, classic music, jazz, soul, reggae, rock - like Coldplay, Bob Dylan (is it rock actually?), Mamas and Papas, ABBA, Beatles, Peter Paul and Mary.
In literature - there periods of falling in love in literature of certain author. There were Jack London, Balsaque, Hugo, Maugham, O'Henry, Mark Twen... Last year I didn't read a lot, mostly about chemistry.
Movies - I like Quentin Tarantino. There many directors and actors that released and played 2-3 great things. Tarantino has reproducibility. It's stable great :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I graduated university with a master degree - it was quite challenging, it took lots of patience and concentration.

I read this three years later - bah, I forgot that it was hard. I graduated a PhD degree. I made Marseiile-Moscow-Marseille by hitchhiking.
Amazing... well, there were many amazing moments, very pleasant.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? Well, I tought people to make cartoons three years ago, we can try again. Do you want to study chemistry?
Learn: I'd like to learn dancing, couple of movements. Or cooking. The nice recepies I know, I've learnt from my friends.
Share: games maybe? We can play an outdoor game with a ball (or without a ball), or indoor game, like maphia. We can just sit and chat. Or walk and chat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chatting, walking around the town (or in the countryside also), cooking. It's a bit like in previous section.
