Currently I am a graduate student at an American college, specializing in Arts. I love studying literature, poetry, visual arts, languages and international affairs - everything that hints on the complexity and richness of the human heritage.

I want to believe I am good at finding a common language with everyone. I love making friends all around the world

Teach, Learn, Share

I love giving unsolicited lectures on arts and culture😸 I am open to learning everything people can offer, and I am a very attentive listener. I’m young, so I cannot share much life experience, although I’m happy to tell you everything on our region - Central Asia or the Post-Soviet states in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always up to cultural exchange - I am trying to be an ambassador of the Central Asian culture. I can tell a lot about the history/geography of the region. My other passion is Russian poetry/literature - I can also talk lots about it.
