About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grind the granite of science

ABOUT ME

I don't even know where to start on that! I will just mention what inspires me: science, books, photography, nature, sports, art and good food, not to mention my friends. Important: when I am not tired I talk quite a lot!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is inside us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to walk around places and share some nice spots with people. I also like crashing on a couch now and then for more authentic experience (also it's a nice change after all the depersonalized hotel rooms).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books are my passion, I love to dive deep into magical realism or to get consumed by a well-written novel. These days, I try to stick to reading in original language, when possible (slows me down terribly, but worth it!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Humpback whales watching in the Pacific next to Ecuadorian shoreline

Teach, Learn, Share

I can build a laser pumped by another laser pumped by another laser and I can cook a chocolate cake (or any other kind of cake).

Also, I can teach Russian or a bit of Physics and maybe recommend some nice books to read.

I have started to learn Spanish and French and I speak German a bit. Also I'm always curious about so many things that I wouldn't like to limit myself with anything. I'm ready and willing to know new things!

I like to take pictures of everything/everybody around, too :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Georgia, Germany, Poland, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine

Countries I’ve Lived In
