Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about where I'm from, where I've been, and teach you a few Russian words while I'm at it!

If you're keeping up with Game of Thrones since the recent Season 7 premiere, I'd love to discuss your theories on what's coming next.

If you happen to be interested in British Parliamentary debating, MUN, political science, sociology, or Eurasia- I would also be more than happy to share anything useful.
