Travel information

We are currently

Description

We believe that trying something new - whether it's a new culture, language, adventure, or job - is one of the coolest things in life. Throughout our lives, we've participated in several exchanges between Russia and European countries, taken part in archaeological expeditions, volunteered for various public organizations and museums, traveled, and learned several European languages. However, we've never had the opportunity to explore, see, and understand France.
As both new experiences and visiting a new country are our top priorities, we decided that volunteering is the perfect opportunity to achieve both. In France, we plan to meet and talk with as many people as possible, visit various sights (as we are art lovers), and expand our understanding of the world as a multicultural space.

More details about your skills

If we're talking about our interests, we're both involved in the humanities. We could talk to you about anything related to law, literature or art. We work as teachers in both public and as private tutors, so we're good storytellers and enjoy interacting with people (including children) and building relationships.
As for our practical skills, we're capable of doing just about anything. We enjoy physical labor (for example, we have recently completed repairs in our new studio). We have experience in gardening, archeology, cleaning, customer service and household work. We're both in good physical shape and have driver's licenses.

What else ...

We are a couple.
After obtaining our bachelor's degrees, we decided to take a gap year before pursuing graduate school and our aspirations of becoming great scientists. Our goal is to explore the world during this time, which means traveling and immersing ourselves in a variety of cultures and fields of activity. We stand for peace and hope to connect our future with this concept. Therefore, it is important for us to see and learn as much as possible, thinking as globally as we can.
Professionally, we have diverse interests. Vasilisa is engaged in education, antient studies, literature, and visual arts, while Polina is interested in eduction, law and programming. In a year, we plan to enter master's programs in visual studies/curation and political science. We are both witty individuals with broad interests ranging from cats and dogs, board games, and skiing to complex philosophical theories and architecture.
