CURRENT MISSION

I must have what the Germans call 'Wanderlust'

ABOUT ME

I'm very emotional, easy-going and sociable person, I enjoy travelling, meeting new people, getting new experience.

I'm fond of literature (especially Russian literature of XVIII century), so I enjoy my studying and doing philological researches.

I can't live without water (maybe because I'm a Pisces), I enjoy swimming, it always makes me relax and elevates my mood (I have a dream to visit all seas and oceans in the world (I've already visited 8)).

I like nature I know very well plants and animals since my childhood (my parents're geographers). I have a big collection or frogs and toads . My room is full of them and my friends concider me to be a crazy person (also because I had a live frog at home before)%)

I enjoy children It's easy for me to get on with them. I have two nieces and I work as a tutor, so I have a great experience :)

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to be alone than in a bad company.
