Hi, I am a recent Master student in Molecular Biology. I`ve been living in Belgium for 2 years and after finishing the program I came back to Russia where my home is. Currently I work in Marketing and at the same time trying to launch my own business. The only thing that keeps me connected to science is my blog where I try to popularize science by writing about it in a funny and simple manner.

I had many hobbies and interests throughout my life so I am able to support a conversation on any topic. At least people who I meet always confirm this claim:)

I`m open for new experience if it seems fun and intriguing. Also I`m willing to destroy the myth that Russians are unfriendly and gloomy people, we are very lovely, hope you can say that by meeting me in person!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a perfect place for meeting new people all over the world. We live only one life and it must be full of catchy moments and different people who can teach you something new or share some advice or opinions about something. It is twice appealing to visit a place of your dream and get help from the locals as they definitely can suggest you uncommon things to try.

Interests

My major interest is science, no surprises here. I am also a book lover and a huge fan of TV shows, pick any show, 80% I watched it.
Cooking is another №1 hobby as food is the best thing that has happened to this world! (Huge love for pasta) To compensate my infinite love for food, I go to the gym and lift weights.
I am also very much into African dances and music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote the article about how alcohol affects our brain and got 3000 subscribers to my blog within a week. Man it was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Russian cuisine is amazing. It reminds you of home and your grandmother`s cooking.. I can cook syrniki made of cottage cheese, crab salad or olivie and you will never regret it!
The language is tough and also sounds weird, but maybe someday it will be useful!
