HobbiesInterests
Hobbies: cooking (different countries’ cuisine), reading (English, Russian, Italian literature – classics, articles about new scientific and social trends, works on psychology), art photography.

Interests:I have always been interested in different cultures of the world, and traveling around the world has always been my favorite hobby. So far I have managed to visit only four cultures (America, Russia, China and Japan), though all of them are very different. Finally, I have to say that I can’t live without communication. I like talking to people, and especially kids. Children are the most easy-going and fun inhabitants of this world. Kids are the very center of laughter, joy and happiness which are so important for any one of us. That is why it’s really interesting for me to teach children and to learn something from them; and educating children of other cultures can certainly become a new challenge for me both as a teacher and as a human being.
