I'm a cheerful and open person. I was born and raised in Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan (You might have heard about it during the Word cup 2018) and moved to Moscow. Probably it was one of the best decisions in my life, because here I've met people that I consider to be my soulmates and I have worked in the most interesting companies ever. Also I'm really into arts. Moscow is full of theaters, museums, galleries, exhibitions and many other places of interest. I get to explore things I love not only during my trips but also every weekend. Long story short, it makes me happy. I'd like to travel more. So far I've visited 15 countries and about 35 Russian cities and towns. Teaching simultaneously in preschool and business English in companies corporately takes quite a lot of time and effort but I absolutely love my job. Students of all the ages trusting me to be their guide into the amazing world of English is the best award I could ever wish for.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading and watching movies and TV series is something that I do on daily basis. My friends call it obsession, I call it passion. I love talking about it, so I'm afraid if I start writing here, I won't be able to stop. So, here are links instead https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/22912253-ekaterina-panova https://en.myshows.me/m/Rzk_k

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a huge bucket list and try to cross out one wish every month. Among the completed ones are shooting from a real gun, visiting restaurant In the Dark, snorkeling in the Red sea, pottery session, aerotube and others. Stepping out of the comfort zone is an amazing thing that I've been doing. Trying couchsurfing is also in the list :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Taking into consideration that I am a chatterbox who's been teaching English for more than ten years and travels quite often, interesting conversations are ensured. Also my breakfast bliny (Russian pancakes) are delicious :)
