About Me

CURRENT MISSION

getting new experience

ABOUT ME

Easy going, open minded and cheerful)

I was born and brought up in a small but lovely city in the Far East of Russia on the border with China. That's why my major is the Chinese language. After a year and a half in Shanghai I moved to Moscow. And it's been less than a year since I work here as a Chinese teacher. I love my job! It's just so much fun to work with teenagers! I learn a lot from them!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm absolutely in love with exploring the world, meeting new people and getting new experience. I always look positive and try to enjoy every minute of my life. "Do more of what makes you happy" is my moto.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
