Hi everyone! I'm Maria, I was born and raised in a beautiful city St. Petersburg but I found myself in Berlin, Germany when I came here for the first time in 2009. That's why I decided to start learning German and a few years later I came here to study.
After finishing my master degree, I found a job in Berlin.

My biggest hobby is to travel. It sounds probably banal but I really want to visit every country in this world - it's like my life goal :)
I love meeting new people, doing things I never did before, visiting interesting places, always try and learn smth new!
I'm a nice, easy-going and open-minded girl.
