ABOUT ME

My name is Julia, I'm working in a Speech Synthesis and Recognition Lab.
I take part in volunteer programms, because this is my way to help, to communicate with open-minded people from all over the world and to travel. That's also why I was doing Postcrossing and why I join Couchsurfing.

I've host few people in Minsk, but never been hosted myself yet.
