Hi! I'm Vira. I come from Ukraine. My passion is chemistry. I would like to work at Research and Development department of a big pharmaceutical plant improving the properties of renowned pharmaceuticals. In addition, my most important intention is to develop completely new pharmaceuticals to save humanity from various diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, HIV, Lyme disease and others which have a tremendously negative effect on people's health, frequently leading to fatal outcome.
Currently I'm an Erasmus student studying Chemistry in the University of Strasbourg.
In my free time I love doing yoga, travelling with my friends and studying French. I also like snowboarding, ice skating and snorkeling. I have already visited a lot of countries: Hungary, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Egypt and Turkey. And my passion is to alongate this list :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I bought a ticket on Tom Odell concert which will be held on the 19th of January in Paris and would like to obtain a possibility to live in one of the flats of couchsurfers in Paris. Also it would be a great experience for me to meet new people, discuss our lives, cultures and become friends :)
