One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Planning to travel through turkey with a folding bike and without a road map.

Travelled to Georgia to learn Lezginka dance, where actually nobody dances it over there.

Few years ago, as I was leaving California after living there for 4 years, I decided last minute not to take my flight from San Francisco to France and booked a flight to Merida, Mexico, instead, because I liked the name. It was a great choice as I ended up living in Chiapas, Mexico for 3 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, English and Russian.
