Hi! My name is Alina. I'm 22 years old. I'm from Saint Petersburg, Russia, but currently I live and study in Budapest, Hungary. I study International and European Business Law. In my freetime I enjoy taking photos of people at beautiful locations. That's one of the main reasons why I like travelling.

Moreover, visiting new places and communicating with locals are always great experience and a nice opportunity to know a country from inside and meet new friends.

I took part in the international exchange programme "Lions Youth Exchange" twice. During the programme I met a lot of new friends all over the world. We stay in the constant contact with most of them.

I am a member of the large international charity organization "Lions Club International" and take part in organizing the international youth exchange in Russia.

"Life is like a camera: focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don't work out, take another shot" - that's my life moto.
