I'm an optimist, very open-minded person. I really like to communicate with different people and investigate their points of view.

I love travelling, especially hiking on mountains and European old cities. I has been at many European cities and making my way to mountains: will move to Switzerland next month.

I'm keen on science. The most fascinating directions for me are bioinformatics and ecology. The first is a combination of genetics, mathematical methods and computer science. It has so many real-world applications in medicine, selection, investigation of inner biological processes... just ask me :)
The second is the field I'm going to do some research in, but don't really know a lot about. However, this topic is very interesting for me. I see ecology as a way to help the planet and people on it to survive.

Another my hobby is psychology - it poses such interesting questions like how does people behave and make their decisions! I like to talk with people, exploring their style of behaviour, desires, motivations, listen to them carefully.

As for sports, I really like badminton and swimming. I play badminton every time the wind is not strong and swim in every water warmer than ice ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for an opportunity to meet new people, investigate their culture from inside. I also very open to share my stories and knowledge with others.
