I'm a fun loving, friendly and chatty person, enjoy making new friends, socialising and spending quality time. I do value time, by the way, as I have 4 year old jumping toddler who is totally non-stop.

My current mission is a PhD, it's my first year and I research how effective are catchment based approaches to reduce a pesticide from slugs (metaldehyde) in raw water. That's exciting!

I try to look after our environment to some extent: recycling and cycling (also saves money), not eating too much meat, turning off the tap while brushing my teeth and all that jazz.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like weird movies, arty-farty-culturati.
Scientific books time after time, plenty of scientific papers lately.
Indie music of all sorts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left my comfort zone and discovered all the benefits of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hydrology, GIS and Remote Sensing should you be interested; Russian language since I'm a native speaker; making collages from old magazines. I can also share my vast knowledge about autism, as my son is on the spectrum. This is some pretty random list, I realise this:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wine, food and a good chat.
