Description
I’m an avid language learner. Being able to talk to others in their native tongue fills me with joy and pride. I started out with English, but I’m learning new languages now. And living in Turkey and being able to pick up the language here is so inspiring and valuable as well for me. So, oftentimes I can’t help but ask my Turkish friends how to say something in their language because it really piques my curiosity.
Also, I’m really big on music and singing. I feel like singing is my true power in life and it always gives me an outlet to be my true self. I mostly prefer American music, especially from the 90s. I doubt there was ever a day when I didn’t hum my favorite songs.
Another thing I love is travel. I visited Antalya, Istanbul, Olympos, Cappadocia, Kas, Fethiye, Konya and Alanya. Now I wanna add more places to my list or explore bigger cities. Traveling solo for me is about having direction in life and being the creator of your own journey, which is really inspiring. Expecially after I spent my first year in Turkey only in Alanya. On my trips, I made so many memories and met amazing people in hostels, which is yet another thing I love.
For me, hostels are like a summer camp for adults. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and exchanging energy with them, chilling in the common area, making meaningful connections.
Last but not least, I love my nomadic lifestyle. Being able to work from any place is pretty amazing!Interests

I would love to share my English and Russian with you, which I both speak fluently. I’m a teacher myself so I know how the learning process works, so I’m happy to share advice on learning as well as provide speaking practice. Also, I’m putting a lot of effort into my Turkish now, so I’m looking for a host who enjoys answering questions about Turkish!Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

-Russian is my native tongue. I also speak English fluently (actually, I’m an English teacher). I’m A2 in Turkish (can hold a conversation about basic things. Have been learning for around 9 months now). Also, I’ve got a little Chinese knowledge from my university. And I know how to teach languages as well.
-Great communication skills. I’m a very talkative and open person and usually don’t shy away from a discussion. All my jobs (shop assistant, teacher) were related to communication. I worked at the biggest amber store in Russia, where we had around 20 groups of Chinese tourist each day, and I even was an employee of the month once. Now I’m teaching English online.
-I can sing pretty well=) mostly I sing American songs, but I can share Russian music as well
-People tell me I make good pictures and write well, so I’d be happy to help you out with your social media if you like
-Volunteered at a hostel in Antalya and did housekeepingAge
