I'm a student that moved away from the family when i was 18 to study in a big city and begin my own life! Now I'm still doing my bachelors degree in political science in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Trying to find myself and just finished ERASMUS program in France for a semester in Sciences Po Aix, which was an amazing and life changing experience! Now I'm in love with Provence haha

Absolutely love architecture and everything about art, especially modern one.

Also I play on flute (but I don't take it with me while traveling, sorry) and teach English language in school in Russia!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

my ERASMUS program! it's such a crazy experience for me, bc i've moved here without any knowledge of french language (education was in english, so i didn't have to know french). Later it turned out that basically just no one speaks english in aix-en-provence. but i'm lucky to learn fast hahah
