CURRENT MISSION

Explore the beauty of the world. Learn from people.

ABOUT ME

I love nature and feel really passionate about biology. So I spend a lot of time making experiments in lab and reading. At the same time I like to travel, meet new people, share my knowledge and learn from them.

PHILOSOPHY

I really like this quote:"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, cone a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Spesialisation is for insects." (Robert Heinlein).
It explains my philosophy pretty well - don't sit at one place, explore the world, learn new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only been a guest as I was traveling most of the last year. But I'm looking forward to settling down somewhere and being able to host as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met several people by CS while travelling in Europe and USA. All the experience was incredibly positive. The best thing I like about CS is a possibility to learn about new country by talking to local - you can never be able to learn this by any other means.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading! Fiction (Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, Haruki Murakami, Milan Kundera, russian authors - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Victor Pelevin, Vladimir Mayakovsky, and I'm always looking for somebody to add to this list) and non-fiction (Matt Ridley, Richard Dawkins, Alexander Markov are my favourite).
The best movie I've ever seen is Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella), 1997.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every year I see one very amazing thing - new leaves appearing on the trees. After the long and cold winter you almost don't believe in green any more. But still it happens every year again. That is really amazing =)
