About Me

I was born in Ust-Orda. It is a settlement which is situated 63 km from Irkutsk. When I entered University, I moved to Irkutsk. I am a vegetarian, sober and don't smoke. However, I am tolerant to everyone! Every morning I do exercise (push ups), every two days have training with weights. I used to practice karate, but I am a kind and patient person and have never fought with someone (except for school time). I graduated from Irkutsk State University in 2013. Then I entered Irkutsk State Technical University. I am a biochemist. Now I am working in Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry. And I am a PhD student at this institute.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing for practicing English. However, then I understood the idea of Couchserfing and started to host and meet (help) everyone, not only English speakers.

Interests

I like to play computer games, but I don't have time, so I hardly ever play games. Sometimes I cook something. Every evening I watch films in English or talk with my treasure (my girlfriend).
