My skills
I've tried almost everything in Vladivostok: a tutor of English, a tour guide, a translator, a receptionist. I even had short experience working in a children summer camp (as a group leader), in a law company (as a secretary). I did some modeling and dancing during tough student years.
Most of all I liked to work in tourism, but this area is still not enough developed in Vladivostok. I feel sad that most of employers don't consider their employees as essential parts of their business. I think if you value your workers, you value your business.

About Me
Once I've read that foreigners tend to think Russians get older earlier than others: after school we immediay enter university, then we start working, we get married at our 20s (and get divorced before we reach our 30s). That's sad, but true.
I do regret I missed my gap year, all interns and opportunities I had during my student years. Now I am a graduate, I'm married (lol), I've got 2 dogs and I have no idea how to live my life. When I entered university, I didn't want to bother my parents. So I studied linguistics, the field I'm not actually interested in, but this option gave me scholarship from government.
Now I try to do things I really want to do: drawing, taking pictures, helping people and go volunteering. Also I like to make & send postcards.
I hope I can be useful for you, and volunteering will give me really valuable experience.
