People usually say that I'm nice and I want to believe that.

I graduated from the university a year ago and currently I'm having a gap yeah before my PhD studies start. I have a part-time job in a something like a scientific museum for children, where we explain them, that science is extremely interesting. A cool job, by the way.

I am fairly down-to-earth and sometimes have trouble relating to people who are very spiritual. Maybe I'm somewhat more cynical than romantic and I'm an atheist. I think that everything we observe has a scientific explanation, even if we might not know it yet. And I believe it's incredibly interesting to search for these explanations and try to understand the mysteries of our beautiful world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because CS is super cool!

Interests

I think my three main interests are science, politics and art (especially cinematography).

Also sometimes I create T-Shirts designs - something like this - http://www.spreadshirt.com/user/alexandrak
