I am investigator - I would love to know the life in its entirety. I've met a lot of people, I've tried a lot of experiences, I've seen a lot of places... And it is only the beginning!

I'm interested in different things, a big share of my time is devoted to study - I am Political Science student of Higher School of Economics in Moscow. I also plan to study International Relations. In future I would love to work around the world and establish mutual understanding between different people, find common ground for finding solutions to global problems.

Within last two years I have visited 13 countries including France with beautiful Paris, Belgium with its amazing waffles, Austria with not sleeping Vienna, Germany with calm Cologne, Netherlands with bright colours of Amsterdam, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Abhazia.

Now I am an Exchange Student at the University of Edinburgh for spring semester. I absolutely in love with the UK and I'm going to travel a lot through the country and Europe within the period of my studying here. London, Oxford, Brighton, Cambridge, Manchester, Newcastle are in my list. In the end of February I am going to visit Italy - from Rome to Venice through Naples, Florence, Pisa, Milan, Verona and Venice! I would love to meet you then, my dear friend :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done recently is that I've been nominated to get Erasmus+ scholarship for studying in Edinburgh. It was my dream to study in the UK!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm studying at Higher School of Economics in Moscow. My major is Political Science, my minor is Psychology. Also I'm working on the projects how to improve the education system in Russia and study the extent to which education affects the mobility of individuals.
The other direction of my personal activity is preparation students for All-Russian School Olympiad in Social Studies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share with them all my sincerity and kindness, as well as understanding and connection. Every person is unique that is why I treat everyone with respect and patience as I love the golden rule of moral: "Treat others how you want to be treated". I would love to tell my host everything what he or she is interested about my travelling experience. I also would be very glad to be a good listener and keep the conversation going. I am also ready to hang out and spend nice time together at some good places!
