Hey hey!
My name is Ilia, I’m 25 yo living in Paris.

Originally was born in Russia, where did my studies in Saint Petersburg State University (Psychology), then build an EdTech startup (was a head of marketing and communications). Then later moved to Paris, learned French to study in a French film school. I’m a very passionate, curious person. I love art, love getting to know new people. Every year I go to film festivals (Berlin, Cannes, Locarno and Venice). Been to 27 countries which means I’m super lucky to have friends around the world!
Will be super happy to meet new people (I speak English, French and Russian) while travelling this year :)

I don’t drink alcohol and don’t smoke, in case it’s important for somebody
