CURRENT MISSION Visit all republics of the former USSR and have a damned good time doing it. ABOUT ME I love the work I do as a neuroscience student, but I have other interests as well. I have volunteered for political campaigns and I enjoy discussing political issues. I am opinionated but understand other points-of-view. I read a lot of international news, particularly from the CIS. I try to practice my Russian language skills so that they are not lost. But I also enjoy relaxing sometimes. I do Crossfit, a group exercise program that helps me let off steam. I love to travel. All of my saved money goes to that purpose. I enjoy talking with new people I meet when I host. I am willing to talk about anything. I am a very frank person. PHILOSOPHY It seems unfair that there are only a finite number of possibilities in a life - travel gives me the illusion of infinite possibilities.
