I was born in Moldova, a country geographically located in Europe, but not familiar to most western Europeans. About 7 years ago I started travelling for my education and fell in love with my continent. First I lived in Czech Republic, then Slovenia, then Slovakia and now I'm in The Netherlands (to diversify my Slavic life apparently). In Czech Republic (aka Czechia) I got Pharmacist's degree, but decided it was not enough for me and started studying some hardcore biomedical sciences, namely Biofabrication (where we try to grow some artificial organs in a lab) in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Thanks to travelling I was not only able to get education, but also found a lot of great people! It is partially a disadvantage, because all my friends are scattered across the globe and I don't get to see them that often. But having them makes my travels more purposeful, because I often choose to visit countries where they live to meet them again.
My a̶d̶d̶i̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ interests include good wine, vegetarian food, ukulele/guitar and swing dance! And I will always prefer a warm house party over a club party.
In near future I want to get involved with the research in the field of Cellular Agriculture and cultured meat. If you don't know what is it, I'm ready to tell you all about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found it to be the best way to instantly connect with the city on a personal level. You get to live a day or two with a person in his house and in his life style and you get introduced to the city through his eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Genetically modified a bacteria (true story, it was my thesis research)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share what I know about diseases and medicines, at the end of the day, I'm a pharmacist.
If you are into dancing, I can show you the basics of Lindy Hop ;-)
And you like some healthy scientific debate, I'm all up for it!
