I'm a Russian exchange student in America. Major in finance, but somehow still not a millionaire:)
Really interested in art and trying to express my inner world through photography. I'm that one friend in a group who constantly takes pictures of everything.. and then sends it to the others as they love it:) art galleries and authentic food places are the first to visit for me.
Haven't been elsewhere outside of Russia before coming here, but it's just a beginning of a big story... If you can imagine how different these two countries are, you still underestimate it. Now I'm in love with both!
Also a university team swimmer, qualified for the US nationals this year

Teach, Learn, Share

Exchange program gave me an official status of cultural ambassador, so I can share a whole lot about my country. I have an rich cultural background of performing Russian folk music for 12 years. Also can suggest a bunch of recommendations for visiting in Moscow, if you once get there :)
