  • Description

    Hi all, i'm happy to joine this platform as i am at a crossroads at this moment. but let me start from the beginning :). i was born in Russia, the most western part of Russia in a city of Kaliningrad. after graduating from the University i came to live in the Netherlands where i still live. i have 2 adult children of 22 and 25 years of age. i speak fluent russian, english and dutch languages and some words in spanish. i love learning foreign languages and i also gave some language lessons to children and to the adults. i love gardening and everything connected to the nature. when i was a child i collected medicinal herbs to supply the local pharmacy. i enjoyed dancing (ballet) when i was a teener and i also did some swimming as i love the sea and beaches. during my life in the netherlands i learned a lot, starting from the administration, logistics, office manager, organasing and running a store, running and managing a fitness studio. at this moment i'm learning the art of giving massages of different types. i enjoy helping and motivating people in all the ways, enjoy deep conversations. doing something meaningfull is what brings me joy and happiness.
