Learning Russian, so are you a native speaker, please write me to meet up!

ABOUT ME

I love to dance and enjoy life as much as possible. I'm a very active person - work, volunteering, study, social activities, learning languages, travelling etc. - I am mostly interested in studying foreign languages, I studied Ancient Greek and Latin and am now a teacher of these subjects in secondary school. I also read a lot, mostly in the languages that I'm learning at that moment -- now that's Russian!

PHILOSOPHY

non scholae, sed vitae discimus (Erasmus)
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world (Mandela)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found a five day hiking trip through Georgia’s nature very impressive. I had a nice workaway experience in Spain and I love going to the beach in The Hague, always so relaxing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, Latin, ancient Greek, Spanish, Dutch, make nice pancakes, I can show the city of the Hague. Learn: any language, now I'm still working on my Russian, i’m a perfectionist. Also local histories fascinate me.
