I have already visited 92 countries in the world, but I would like to go forward, because it is always very interesting to meet new people, to visit amazing places, to try new activities you have never done before, to practice foreign languages, to see various cultures, to taste cuisine of different countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it would be the best way to see the culture of the country and also to meet new friends.

Interests

The travelling is my biggest passion, but of course I also like to read books, to watch good movies, to practice fitness, to meet with my friends and to stay with my family.

I like to dance, especially salsa ;)

I adore active sport like snowboarding, diving, rafting, horse riding, etc.

I like to take good pictures - for example, I am proud of a picture of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, which I took from the airplane only using the camera of my smartphone.

And besides that I like to write and paint.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am lucky: I began to work at CERN the same year when the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) was finally launched (it was constructing during about 20 years). I worked there 2,5 years and was investigating one of the decay channels of the Higgs Boson which is also known in the periodical press like the God's Particle. There were a lot of discussions concerning the existence of this particle.

In 2012 it was discovered! And my name with my previous surname (Erofeeva) is in the list of authors of the paper dedicated to the discover of the Higgs Boson. I am glad that I was a part of this huge and important experiment.
