I currently live in Grand Forks, the USA. I am an exchange student from Russia studying Energy Systems.
I grew up in Siberia. I did not that I was living in a really cold place till I went to a place where winter is less than 6 months per year (I was 25 at that moment). Before the US, I was working as a Musical dancer, a gra[hic designer, a stretching instructor, an engineer, and all at the same time. Can not imagine my life just doing one thing, I feel myself alive only by doing several absolutely opposite thing. I believe in a balance between science, sport, and art.

I enjoy traveling (obviously), reading, working, running, talking, dreaming, drinking, cooking, dancing, doing sport, laughing, and all things fun. I believe in connecting with other people from all walks of life, in my hometown or abroad; we have so much to learn from one another.

I adore french musicals (I will definitely learn French one day) and Cirque du Soleil. The next time I go to Las Vegas I will try to see as many their shows as possible.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have a terrible fear of height. So, I decided to present myself parachute jump as a graduation gift.
To take the best pictures from mountains, I was snowboarding for couple hours at -34C (-29F)
I am a huge fan of Russian tradition to dive in an ice-hole.

I can teach how to cook Russian food and do some stretching. I was working as a stretching instructor and I was really good at it.
I am not afraid of trying and learning new things. While I am in the US I decided to learn couple more languages and currently I am beginner Spanish learning.
