About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Share the wealth of knowledge
ABOUT ME
Randomness. I have multiple university degrees in varying fields from Chemistry to Linguistics. Still haven't found what I want to do in life so I've been living and working all over the place for now.
I am a hyperpolyglot and a citizen of the world! I've spent the last several years living in Russia, the USA, Morocco, Italy, Brazil and the Republic of Georgia.
Used to be a high level competitive swimmer and being active is quite honestly the best thing there is. I want to complete an Iron Man Triathlon some day! I now do competitive aerial sports.
PHILOSOPHY
Nothing is planned in life so just roll with the punches and treasure the smiles because that's what it's all about!

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy almost all music. I love Latin rhythms but I really don't like house or techno.
Le Petit Prince is an all time classic book.
I love comedy, romance, action and drama movies... and interesting documentaries as well as every Disney movie ever made.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiked Kilimanjaro
Learned to write cursive Russian, Georgian and Arabic
Teach, Learn, Share
Language exchange
Dancing classes - salsa, merengue, vallenato, bachata, reggaeton.....
Swim classes
Cooking skills... I'm like a little Ratatouille chef
I would love to learn other languages, dancing, any kind of sport, to make other nations' national dishes... I'm pretty game for it all.
