Hi, everyone!
I am Marina. I am a friendly, open-minded and sociable Russian. I live in Ekaterinburg. It is one of the fourth-largest city and the most dynamic cities in Russia. Nowadays I am teaching elementary English to small children. I am enjoying singing songs, playing games with them.
I have a 16 y.o. daughter Julia. She is passionate about singing. I love to watch her perfomances. She has finished her music school this year. She plays the piano and sings alone and in the ensemble. If you like you can check her videos on youtube: https://youtu.be/s_Jc_yXzRK8

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken part in archaeological excavations
We walked for several hours to the archaelogical site in the forest. We have lived for a month in the tents and cooked food on the fire. There weren't any villages or towns nearby niether shops or cafes.
