Hi! I am a biology student from Ukraine, and I am traveling with my girlfriend Marina. We are trying to catch every opportunity to jump out of our routine and find some new adventures. We have already been in such countries as Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Austria, Poland and hungry for more. For me travelling is a way to know myself better, to understand what the world is and what the life is. That's why I want to see and visit as many places as I can through my life.
Most of the year can't afford myself to travel anywhere due to hard working at the laboratory and at university. My girlfriend has the same situation, we both are studying at biology faculty. That's why we can travel mostly at summer period. Nevertheless, we love travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You know, it is a bit boring only visiting new cities and seeing some touristic “must see” places. That's not enough. What is much more exciting is to see them with someone who loves this city, who knows its best museums, pubs and views. Looking through all my travel experience I understand that some bright people are remembered much better than cities, they make this city individual in my memory.
I'd like to hear other people stories, to learn something new from them and to share my experience.

Interests

About hobbies: I am a musician (bass guitar, acoustic guitar), earlier played in a band, now don't have time for this because of studying, but still play at home just to relax. Several years ago engaged in rock climbing and tourism. Near Lviv (city where I am from) we have Carpathian mountains were you have an opportunity to do that. Right now my passion is science, especially cell biology, and I devote almost all my time to this.
