I'm a researcher in Materials Science and that's why I like to learn what this world is made of. I'm really fond of traveling, learning cultures, languages, and meeting new people. I was grown-up in Russia and two years ago moved to the USA. In the past years, I've visited many countries from Brazil to Japan and took part in different events like Olympic Games, volunteering camps, festivals, and scientific conferences. I like to explore, try and experience and that's why I'm on Couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, travel is not just visiting certain destinations and ticking the list of must-to-visit places. It's all about learning. And meeting new people through the Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to fulfill my purposes.
