I am 29 years old guy living in the very beautiful city with a very beautiful woman.
Most of the time I am busy with my work: investigating human mind with cruel experiments (I am cognitive psychologist working as a researcher at the university).

Apart from my work I do lots of things. I like to walk around the city, meeting my friends (I have a lot). I go to bars. I read books. I visit theaters and cinemas. I travel by bicycle. I go hiking. I play basketball, table tennis and do some other sports. I play quizzes.

I like to learn new things. I can talk to interesting person for hours. It can be science, history, philosophy, politics, crazy personal stories, cities, culture etc.
I also like to experience new things, so I'm ready for some unusual activities.

I don't: watch tv series (one exception: GOT), play video games, go to night clubs, drive a car, catch pokemons, play music.

I like to travel abroad (surprise!). I visit scientific conferences quite often and it's an interesting way to see different cities. Sometimes I travel just to see new places and people. Why do I travel? Apart from trivial stuff like seeing prominent places I like to see the differences in everyday life of people in different cities and countries. The best thing in the trip is to feel yourself like a local.

NB! If you don't like my profile, check out my wife's one: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/withcaleidoscopeeyes.
We live together and in most cases travel together too.

教，学，和分享

I can tell you about cognitive science, artificial and natural neural networks. I can teach you stats and R programmting language (you can even enroll MOOCs I produced for Stepik.org - if you speak Russian). I can answer questions on everyday life in Russia.

I can show you bar life of St. Petersburg and beautiful or interesting places of the city [THIS WAS TRUE WHEN I LIVED IN ST PETERSBURG, but we can try it in Ghent]. And I'd like to learn the same about your city.

You can take part in experiments we conduct at my work. Sometimes it's interesting!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Again, I can share all my knowledge (if you are interested in it). I can tell you about Russian history and modern life. I can share my place if you come to Ghent.
