ABOUT ME

hi there, I am Veronika=)
So now I am doing PhD in Physics in Edinburgh University and hope that will be here till 2018.
After graduation from Moscow Uni I worked in Michelin and Coca-Cola companies in production and supply chain management areas and was absolutely happy doing this!

To be honest I do not like to talk about myself, so here is just some very limited information about how I see myself:
- I like to have good mood and good time and strongly believe that it just my own responsibility=)
- i LOVE meeting new people and discover their experience
- i can cook=) though my mum thinks that I am not that good in cooking...

PHILOSOPHY

Personal phylosophy is, in my opinion, rather deep phylosopic question..ask me and you'll know=)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

****CS for me is an extremely interesting way to meet new people. But I DO NOT EXPECT anything connected with SEX from you, if you are hositing me or surfing at my place.**

I have met several people with the help of Couch Surfing and other organizations, and it was wonderful! I hosted some people in Moscow; and my first experience of surfing was just in the beginning of October in Scotland. And I should say- it is wonderful!
