Hi, everyone!
My name is Marina and I come from a small republic in Russia, but I'm currently studying in the beautiful city of Saint Petersburg, getting my Master's degree in Anthropology.

I'm an open-minded, adventurous, and outgoing person who has previously studied in Finland as an exchange student. Despite having been to quite many places in Europe, there are still many more waiting for me to explore. That's why I've decided to go to amazing Argentina and find new friends there! I fell in love with the Argentinian lifestyle, attitude, happiness, culture, music, dance, songs, and many other things during my adventures in Europe.

As a historian and soon-to-be anthropologist, I enjoy sharing my knowledge about different things, not only about my home country but also about my little Finno-Ugric republic. I'm particularly interested in supporting local national projects for cultural heritage protection, especially artistic ones, and I speak Udmurt, a minority language in Russia. I'm also a person of arts, so it's essential for me to share my passion with others.
