Hi, my name is Anya and I am 20 y.o. I travel a lot with different companies. I’m an exchange student from Russia and this is my first time in the US 🤍

My company likes to laugh, share and meet new people! I enjoy new cities and towns! Moreover, I would like to see how citizens live there, not as tourists.

Now I’m traveling with my friend: Klim (there are the pictures of us in the profile). We are all participants of the same exchange program (YEAR). We study together in Riverside City College in South California📝

Nice to meet you!
