CURRENT MISSION

riding rainbows and learning to play ukulele

ABOUT ME

I want to know everything and understand how the world works. Traveling, learning and exploring are my passions.

I'm 26 years old. I do yoga. I worked as an English teacher at a private language school in Saint Petersburg, but right now thanks to Fulbright I'm teaching Russian at a small liberal arts college in central Pennsylvania.
I'm going back home quite soon and my feelings about that are not clear to me:)

I recently got an ukulele and am torturing my roommates trying to play it.

My mum says I'm fun to hang out with and I have no reasons not to believe her.

Peace

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around.
You can learn from anyone or anything. Even from a cat.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once stayed in a house on a mountain and every morning saw a carpet of clouds underneath our balcony.
I believe the biggest adventures are still ahead of me!

Since I'm a teacher, I can teach you Russian. A couple of words at least.
We could cook herring in a fur coat! Intriguing, isn't it?:)
