About Me

🏔️ I'm enthusiastic, patient, peaceful, and thoughtful musician, life scientist, and life lover. Per se I'm curious to explore new things. I studied molecular biology and psychology, so I'm the one who likes some existential and philosophical topics to speak about.
👀 I started and stopped developing a startup and have seen some things in life 😂
🎶 I also ran my own music band 6-7 months ago. Now I'm solo artist.
🌍 I'm open-minded to every discussion and curious about any activities. Life has many sides and we are here to discover them.
👩🏻‍🔬I like to meet and hear different people, because everyone has something interesting to say, every single person has his own life story and mental outlook. Mutual enrichment.

🌻 I'm also a creative person: I write songs, sing, learn guitar, draw, dance and make photos.
🌓 I'm trying to understand the human nature as itself and be grateful for everything in the world.

Please, if you want me to be your host, start your message with any emoji, so I know you spent some time reading the profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🧏 People. I love people and I love their stories, their experiences. There are so many nice and great personalities to discover!

💱Exchange. We all have something to exchange with each other. Connections enrich you.

🎇Having a good time. Good company = good emotions.

🤸‍♀️Locals. Hard to find, easy to loose, haha. They know the city better than me. Especially places where I can discover amazing food.

Interests

🦠Biology (synthetic, molecular, protein biochemistry)
🧠Psychology (existential, positive, cognitive-behavioural)
👩🏻‍🔬Natural sciences (physics, astrophysics, organic chemistry)
🎼 Music and arts are my passion
🧚‍♂️ Entrepreneurship

🔸Big fan of travelling, cultures and their traditions. I would be grateful if you can show me traditional places, food and explain local tricks.

🦐🦪 I'm literally crazy about food. 100% gourmet. Obsessed with cooking. I appreciate the dishes I've never tasted before.

🚩My favourite destination so far is Japan 🇯🇵 I am deeply in love with this country. 日本は素晴らしいです。

🧗‍♀️I hike so far I can. I enjoy and discover new things every day. Some days I prefer to be a couch potato — also fine.

📙 I also like to read different books (though I am a little bit overwhelmed with reading the scientific publications), watch non-popular films, explore arts, discover music.

🟢 Don't mind playing PC and board games.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music lover. That means, I accept almost every music. From pop and R&B to soul, jazz, power metal, psychodelic, darkwave or even new age or trance. I write songs and always ready to discover something new.

😍 Favorites: Diary of Dreams, Diorama, White Lies, Parov Stelar, Foals, Blind Guardian, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, Hans Zimmer and Clint Mansell.

🎥 I like movies with sense. It may be arthouse, physiological drama and even anime (depends on the story).

🌸 Favorites: Darren Aronofsky (director), Quentin Tarantino (director), Lars von Trier (director). Some anime: Berserk, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass etc.

📚 I like philosophical books. So I am big fan of JOHN FOWLES and Dostoevsky. Not much time to read though.

🎲 About games: mostly arcades and quests, but also shooters and RPGs. Civilization, Bioshock, Deus Ex:Human Revolution, Witcher, Cyberpunk, The Elder Scrolls, Binding of Isaac are good examples.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🚫 Canceled my flight just to stay one day more with a person ✈
🚀 Survived one of the most powerful typhoons in last 25 years in Japan 🗾
📊 Researched in a lab together with Nobel price laureate
🕊️ Dropped everything and moved to Switzerland

Teach, Learn, Share

✨ Scientific approach. I am ready to explain you how your biology works, from medicaments to vaccines. We could nicely discuss new discoveries in science. Or whatever you think is interesting to discuss.
🧠 Psychology stuff. I'm quite aware about psychology. I can explain how your mind cheat with your feelings (infos are based on new psychological researches). It's quite a long story to tell.
🐲 Cooking monster. I love cooking difficult dishes with interesting ingredients such as truffles, saffron, blue cheese and so on. I can organize gastronomical evening for us 🥂
🎉 Musician. I can also privately sing for you, if you want to.

↗️Flexible and respectful: I am ready to spend the day actively, sharing ideas and thoughts or we can lazily watch a film in the evening. I go with flow 🌸

🌌 Let's enjoy the life!
