Born in Russia (adopted) but raised in Eugene, I'm quite a sophisticated and quiet, but cheerful woman. I'm what is considered an introvert, and do best in one-on-one conversations, or small groups that actually show interest, but can get along with almost anyone. As cliche as it is, I consider myself open-minded, but in a way that is genuine and humble. My main hobbies include listening to music, walking quite a lot, video gaming (streaming too), and just doing what I do best - living life one day at a time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - The standard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013, I went to London with my father which was quite an amazing experience!
In 2014, I went back to Russia for the first time since my adoption, and enjoyed seeing the rough, yet beautiful culture!
In 2017-2018, I lived in Moscow, Russia for almost a year!
In 2018 of October-November, I've been in Prague, Czech Republic, mainly completing a CELTA but now deciding whether I want to stay here.
In 2018 of early November, I took a slight detour to the Netherlands for a week and enjoyed the water scenes of the country side.

Teach, Learn, Share

Honestly, I'm not very good at doing many things. I can teach you to give a good hug, I guess?

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, my voice, my empathy and sympathy, and my open mind. I'm in general an easy to get along person and am very grateful when people help others. I can share my view of the world and how it should be (no, it's not just about "world peace"). I can also make some mean pancakes and peanut brittle. Oh, and bacon! I don't eat it often, but everyone who has tried my bacon has fell in love with it.
