CURRENT MISSION

Initially I'm from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, but now I am surfing in the U.S. I came in the end of January for one semester to study at Bard College (NY). Spring break is coming, and my dream is to see different cities of America

ABOUT ME

I'm 19 years old and my major is history. I love art and especially Van Gogh. I've been in the U.S. 1,5 years ago also at Bard College for the Summer English Intensive. My hometown is everything for me but also I like to travel and discover the world

PHILOSOPHY

I live to learn and make mistakes; I'm trying do not loose any possibility to do something because we live only once; open-minded and happy to meet with new people and receive new experience
