Hey! My name is Alena, but if are not sure in your ability of speaking Russian it’s ok guys! u can call me Helen :)

I’ve graduated from university as a marketer. Now i work in bank support department, sounds not so interesting, but i am in love with my job.

I’m feminist and I am tolerant to all people.

I like traveling (so that’s why I’m here), meeting new people and communicating with them, so, I’m typical extravert. I am excited about strange non-touristic places like any kind of festivals, authentic bars for locals, roofs, and everything u want to show me as a host. Moreover, I like all types of animals (but I’m definitely a dog person).

I am debater for 6 years, so I have been teaching teenagers for public speaking as a coach for 3 yers. I adore this experience a lot, that’s why last summer I went to education program in Germany as a volunteer with children from Poland. The topic was „Political science and education“ in Trebnitz.
