About Me

I am a scientist in Biomedical field, who tries to combine career with traveling, learning languages and many other things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to travel around the world and meet locals in their environment.

Interests

My interests include reading books, playing piano and guitar, yoga, swimming and fitness; I love to watch and read about other parts of the Earth and dream about going there. From time to time I create an itinerary for visiting as many places as possible during one trip and stick to it even if it might look a bit crazy.
Though it is not an original thing, I'm proud of my collection of freezer magnets from (almost) all the cities I have been to.

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess nobody really reads this section.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't choose between three things:
1) Booked tickets and planned a 2 weeks trip to Indonesia 3 days prior the journey;
2) Swam with horses in disgusting dirty water of a mountain lake in Crimea, Ukraine;
3) Practiced yoga everywhere: on a lake in Italy, on a golf course in England, on a mountain in Russia...

Teach, Learn, Share

Even if you do science, you still can be funny :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can talk about science - but don't worry, I'm not that crazy scientist who will tell you every single detail of my research project after two bottles of wine :) :)
Also, I'm a bit of language learning geek, so if you like the topic and learn some foreign languages, we will definitely find what to talk about!
