Description

Hi, I’m Tanya!
Originally from Russia, I recently got my master's degree in International Education through a Fulbright scholarship at the University of Minnesota. I love languages and have an undergrad degree in linguistics.

I'm a helper at heart with genuine curiosity about other ways of learning and being. So I'm always eager to learn, share knowledge, and immerse myself in a different culture. Getting to know diverse people and their traditions (and traditional music and dances!) is the spice of life for me, and I firmly believe that life is a journey of exploration and ongoing discovery in which you always have things to learn from others. So I’m open to any new opportunity and hope to make your little corner of the world a better place, or at least make someone’s day:)

Some of the most favorite volunteer projects I've been a part of are eco-projects at multiple Vermont farms, community interpreting (Russian-English; English-Spanish), and coordination work at theater festivals in Russia and Bulgaria (none of this through Workaway, though). I have been involved in theater for quite a while and I am deeply passionate about Argentine tango and folklore dancing! These two passions taught me open-mindedness, creativity, and discipline while enjoying connecting with welcoming theater and dance communities worldwide.

I'm very adaptable, adventurous, and have a positive outlook on life. I'm always happy to offer help with international education exchange projects, teaching/practicing Argentine tango, language exchange, or any other project that you or your community would like support with!

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I could teach or be a chat buddy in either Russian or English. I am also actively learning Spanish and Portuguese now, so finding a chat buddy would be super fun!
