I am a Russian language teacher for foreigners, and I also study and work in the field of psychology and philosophy. I appreciate meaningful conversations that go beyond small talk—I enjoy deep discussions about life, culture, science, and the human experience. I believe in kindness, mutual support, and mindfulness. I love meeting new people but also respect personal space and boundaries. Trusting the flow of life and seeking harmony with myself and the world around me is something I truly value.
