About Me

I recently graduated from the University where I studied physics, maths, computer science and now I don't have any excuses to not figuring out my life. So here is what I figured out so far:

I really love:
- meeting new people
- solving complicated problems (sorry, copied from my resume)
- hanging out in bars
- watching and rarely doing sports
- travellling!
- reading books and understanding how many things there are yet to learn
- meditation

Is it quotes time yet?

Nothing matters, so it doesn't matter if nothing matters
And while you be, be true
And if you won't, f you
(Watsky)

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction they are going!
There's no knowing where they're rowing,
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing, is a hurricane a-blowing?
(Roald Dahl)

I am not throwing away my shot!
(Hamilton)

Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes takes
(Also Hamilton)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At some point of my life I realised that I love traveling. And that I love people who love to travel. And also people who love people who love people, who.. So,

I really enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places! It inspires me, it makes me see how amazing this world really is.

During my first trips I enjoyed every interaction with local people, because they turn out to be so different and yet so familiar. Like we barely talked, but I would love to meet with them in 5 years to see how we all are doing.
Now I see that the best way to visit a new country is through interaction with amazing people who live in it.

I can't wait to have my own place in Moscow so I can start accepting guests myself.
