We love to travel, explore new places and meet new people. We are open to new emotions and new adventures. And we are always ready to get something new from people.He is...Smiling and positive guy. When he is away from his computer (oh yeah, a computer geek :) One academic year of studying in Turku, Finland gives him great expirience of self-being (we really want to say here something very mmm significant, but don't really know what that might be...) She is...Active, open-minded, talkative. Loves languages: works in the US as a Russian TA during summers (so if somebody needs some Russian classes...), learns Spanish and Portuguesse.
