I recently graduated from Saint Petersburg State Univercity with BA in 'political science, international affairs and human rights'. And I took a gap year before go getting a master degree. While I have a free time preparing for adulthood and finding myself, I decided it would be a good idea to travel to some new places, meet new people and share the perspectives.

I am a very tollerante and open-minded person, I have different types of friends and I am proud to be part of their stories and I'd be glad to hang out with more amazing people. Currently, my biggest desire is to travel the world! So that is what I am doing! I've tried to move to New York City two times and I faild. But I'm sure, I will try again and sucseed. And I absolutely adore animals, I have a dog, pale labrador (no worries, I'm not taking him with me).

I love sports, especially running, swimming and hiking.
I'm interested in history, art, music and theatre. I am from St. Petersburg, so you can guess that I am fascinated with beutiful architecture, rich culture and literature.
