Hey, I am Sofia, nice to meet you! I consider myself as a funny, open-minded and intelligent person, who laughs a lot and knows how to enjoy life. I always know how to find a good party, an excellent bar or a nice walking tour. I am pretty nerdy about such things as history and art and russian classical literature. I enjoy learning new things and of course, meeting interesting new people from whom I can learn or share something I know.

I grew up in Russia, lived for one year in Florida, then moved to Germany to study chemical biology there. After 7 exciting years of study I'm going to continue the science path in my life and pursue a PhD 🤓

My life moto? Never stop growing

And if you wanna know more, let's hangout and I'll tell you the rest

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me as for a traveler, it offers an amazing opportunity to learn something about the place from he locals, who from my experience are interesting, open-minded people, who love sharing and meeting new people

Moreover it's a chance to meet people with super different background who you otherwise would never encounter in your everyday life

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE techno music (minimal, deep house, melodical techno, progressive house, psy-trance, goa), raving is my type of therapy and best way to release stress 😎🌈🎉

I also enjoy jazz, especially live-concerts and live music in general🎷🎻🎺🎹
When I travel I always find some bar with live music or local jazz bands.
Well, I also play the guitar myself 🎸

Of course, I like listening and dancing to salsa and bachata sounds and I just can't help dancing if I hear reggaeton 🥰

My favorite books: everything from Dostojevsky, "War and Peace" by Lev Tolstoy, "Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera, "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari, "Rayuela" by Julio Cortazar, "Harry Potter" by Joanne Rowling
