Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm Russian/Israeli. Both of my countries are unfortunately quite violent now and I don't support neither of them.

I was born in Moscow and 12 years ago moved to Tel Aviv.

Being myself a migrant, I'm always interested in other people's stories of migration, travels and how their birthplace determined a lot in their life. I'm a lawyer and I work for the protection of refugees' rights. People that I represent come from all over and have the most incredible stories. Helping people and building connections with them is what I like so much in my work. I also teach law in university. Students' motivation, idealism and questioning everything, not accepting things as they are - give me power and inspiration to act.

I used to live in a small village on a hill surrounded by a nature reserve, but I came back to the city because of work. I try to get out and be in nature as much as I can.

I love dogs. I walk at least couple of hours each day with my dog.

I did workaway in Italy twice and both times it was some of the best things that happened to me. Now again I long that experience of connection with nature and with people, connection that enriches and inspires.

More details about your skills

I grew up in the city, but each summer I spent in my grandparents' country house. My grandparents grew all kinds of fruit and vegetables and I used to help them in the garden. Later I also helped my parents renovating their old beautiful country house.

I love physical work and working outside, especially with other people. I’m not afraid of work and of getting my hands dirty.

Back home I have a dog. She is a rescue dog, so I'm familiar with taking care and force-free training of sensitive dogs.
