Hi there, my name is Iryna. I was born in Belarus, raised in Italy, and now I live in China :) I majored in languages (English and Italian) and literature. Volunteered in Italy for two years, worked in IT and then quit to go teach English in China. I am an ordinary person, but I always try to find interesting and beautiful things around me. I believe that life should be lived in balance and nothing should consume us too much. I am curious, and I like meeting new people and seeing new places. I find joy in little things that surround me - a stranger’s smile, a cup of coffee, a pretty cloud in the sky. But at the same time I am really into dark humor and sarcasm (though my intentions are always good). My Instagram profile: instagram.com/yasaengjandi

Música, Filmes e Livros
🎵These days I listen to 80's music, but every decade and genre have something to offer. My all time favorites are: The Rolling Stones and David Bowie. 🎥I don’t have favorite movies or books. There’re so many which I really enjoyed that listing them here would be impossible. Let’s say I have a weak spot for old Hollywood movies, Star Wars original trilogy, and Marvel universe (and also for some tv shows). Movies that broke my heart (in a good way): Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Into the Wild, An Affair to Remember, Midnight in Paris. 📖I am fond of literature (being an English major, philology department), and lately I am more interested in non-fiction books on physiology. A couple of fiction favorites: Conrad (Heart of Darkness), Maugham (The Moon and Sixpence), Cervantes (Don Quixote), The Pit (or Yama) by Kuprin, The Quiet American (Greene).
Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz

Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
I can teach Russian, English, Italian (I hope I haven’t forgotten it yet). I want to learn to play the ukulele. I am easily interested in anything so whatever you can share with me - I will be very grateful.
