I am a scientist and a medical school teacher, although my fields of study and teaching do not overlap. I have spent all my life in my hometown, Syktyvkar, a quarter-of-a-million city that even among Russian residents usually produces reaction "Where the hell is that?"
I am a lifelong science fiction and fantasy addict.
I don't smoke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
