CURRENT MISSION

Making world better! Literally, I'm even working on science project, trying to create new materials, which could help the humanity to live better life)

ABOUT ME

I'm very interested in sciences and in tourism. I mean real, hardcore tourism , with backpacks, hiking, mountain-climbing and all that stuff. I'm a chemist, and have a lot of experience in working in chem lab (no, I don't cook meth:) sometimes I am a crazy nerd)))
I listen to all kinds of music, but prefer trance or metal.

I'm an accurate and punctual person, kind and gentle. I don't mind any living conditions, but prefer to keep my room clean.
I don't smoke and don't drink alcohol (my profession still has throng of possibilities to poison me), and prefer others not to smoke nearby.
I am an introvert, so don't expect me to be very chatty. It doesn't mean that I'm closed from the people, I just don't speak much

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an optimist, pacifist, and introvert. That means that I will always try to solve conflict peacefully, avoid negative and destructive thoughts and can motivate myself, trying too cheer and empower others

if you make me sure that you've read my profile before sending the request, it would be much better

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and meet live people, not just hotel workers and souvenir-sellers. Make new friends in other countries. And save some money :)
And I want to help other travelers, providing my apartment and sharing my room, food and stories)
