Hi there! You can call me Dima! :)

researcher/phd student/adventurer/survivor 🐇🐝🦋

if you accept me in your apartment as a couchsurfer guest, I find it super easy/feasible/just/fun to cook vegan-vegetarian food for us, help out with things around if necessary. sharing is caring and solidarity is some sort of way of life :)
I have such high level of positive/cheerful energy and have endless topics to share (mostly about my academic journey and adventurous trips) 🌳✨🍀

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m coachsurfing because one of the most important things for me to do during my trips is meeting local people and get know more about that culture and language. I’m a PhD student in social and economic history of middle east: I love observing more about cultural,religious,lingual spheres critically. Besides, I’d like to find my way of life more accurately by listening life stories and experiences; and Carpe Diem :)
