More details about your skills
In the past, I taught languages, such as English and Russian, for years at the international language school LANGUAGE LINK in my home town of Domodedovo just south of Moscow. I really enjoy 1) gardening and 2) farming and cook quite well (used to be a trained chef). I've also got some artistic skills - play musical instruments (the harmonica, the piano), dance, write scripts and possess some acting skills (I play at an amateur theater). Also, I'm quite good at chess. At my young age, I used to have a garden of my own and take care of farm animals, such as horses.

Eugene is well organized and smart person. Despite the age difference, he did his best at the difficult farm work and got along well with the other volunteers. We also had some chance to talk about politics and other stuff about Russia. I am very happy to know him.
