Hey! My name is Cleo, and I live in Schiedam, Netherlands.

I was born in USA, but all my life I lived in beautiful Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I left this country in March 2022, because I don’t support the war in Ukraine. I have bachelor’s degree in oriental studies, so if you want, I can teach you some Chinese. Even though my father is American, my English is not very good, so now my main goal is to improve my language skills!

Would love to meet new people and travel around Europe❤️

- Vegeterian, but I am chill with people that eat meat
- I prefer not to stay up all night, even though I wouldn’t call myself a morning person. I just like to sleep
- I’ve had 5 lessons of surfing and now I really want to go to a surfing camp in winter
- I am an atheist, but I am very interested in different religions/cults
- Just finished my first Camino de Santiago (Portuguese)
