"Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary"

Hi y'all!
I'm Timur, an eternal student with a never-ending urge to learn new things. Within the past seven years I've hopped on from Russia to Greece to Germany before finally landing in the lovely city of Torino where I'm currently studying artificial intelligence. I value kindness, curiosity, adventurousness and spontaneity. The brass sounds of New Orleans jazz always make my heart groove and knees bounce and it's one of my dear dreams to travel around the American South

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

We all are wandering story-tellers and I'd be curious to hear yours and share mine

Intereses

I'd describe myself as a curious explorer interested in whatever the outside world has to offer. I quite enjoy teaching and hope it's going to an integral part of whatever it is that I'm going to do in the future :) Jazz music and swing dancing make my face glow with a smile and fill my heart with joyful happiness. I'm making humble attempts to play the piano and like making things by hands. Learning to play the harmonica and tap dance rank pretty high in my to-do list
