About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a linguist and philologist, I like to use different languages and to reflect on them. I love nature and history.
My girlfriend is a social anthropologist, she is here on her one-year-long fieldwork, and I am here to stay with her and to help her, and also to learn Buryat language.
