Hello, world! :)
My main interests are pedagogy, psychology, music and social activism. I enjoy singing and playing ukulele. In my free time I like volunteering, doing small social projects, dancing, travelling to learn new cultures and meet new people and just having a good time.

I tried to play drums for the first time with a punk band from Budapest in the center of Barcelona, right under the Arc de Triomphe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Russian and Belarusian languages (and can help you with English, if you don't feel confident to speak it :). Also I would be really happy to share my culture and tell you about Belarus and Minsk.
