My skills
I have experience working as a hos receptionist, a tour guide giving tours in English, a retail clerk in a little pie shop in the USA, a customer support manager for an online-booking system and many other things. Moreover, I have studied PR and organised a lot of different events both small local and huge international. I've done various internships in journalism and communications. I consider my strongest skill to be the knowledge of languages: Russian is my mother tongue, I speak English and German fluently + I have an intermediate level of Spanish. Generally, I am open for everything new and would be happy to aquire new skills.

About Me
I'm an open-mided person who loves travelling, learning foreign languages and discovering new things in life. I've traveled quite a lot for a 21 year old Russian and I don't wanna stop! I'm easy-going and don't like making things too complicated, I don't need much to be happy, or least content in life 🙂
