My IG - andrew.cowork / my wife's IG - irenmakarova8

A tech enthusiast and IT Product Manager who used to teach English as a side-gig. When I found a love for traveling, I set a goal to travel to at least 1 new country every year. I’m very passionate about experiencing the world and learning about new cultures. I am always happy to make recommendations and show good souls the good scenes.

I enjoy good conversation, exploring new places, history, music, and meeting new people.

I have a Master's degree in International Management at Higher School of Economics.

I usually travel with my wife, who is also fluent in French and loves history, astrology, photography, design, social media marketing, and cooking delicious vegetarian (and not only) meals! She also lived in 4 different countries so she can tell you all about it.
