Hi there, I'm Lea! I'm currently working in Tashkent and always eager to explore new places and cultures. So feel free to reach out! I'm currently pursuing my PhD in linguistics. My love for languages runs deep, and I'm always excited to learn new ones.

Aside from my academic pursuits, I'm also a writer. I have my own blog where I share my thoughts and experiences, and I also write articles for a magazine. Photography and editing are also passions of mine, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills.

2021, I travelled to 13 countries in a camper van, and it was an unforgettable experience. Good food, conversations, sports, and having a good time are some of the things that make me happy. I love immersing myself in new cultures and learning new languages, currently focusing on Russian and Portuguese.

I'm a lover of the outdoors, and I enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, diving, and walks in nature. Yoga and meditation are also part of my routine, and they help me stay grounded and focused.

Overall, I'm a curious and adventurous person who's always looking for new experiences and opportunities to learn. I'm excited to connect with like-minded people and share my passion for travel, language, and culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling without plan where to next?

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning new languages and discovering new cultures through food is an excellent way to expand your knowledge and understanding of the world.

By immersing yourself in different languages and cultures, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the unique customs and traditions of each society. Language is an essential part of culture, and by learning a new language, you can not only communicate with people from other parts of the world, but you can also gain insight into their way of life.

Additionally, exploring the culinary traditions of different cultures can be a delicious and fulfilling way to learn about their history, beliefs, and values. Food is often a central part of celebrations and social gatherings, making it an excellent lens through which to view a culture.
