Description
I am an itinerant art and nature psychotherapist and professional teacher of Russian language with the university teaching experience and degrees in linguistics, arts and psychology.
I left my home in Russia two years ago and since then I have been mostly on the road, taking part in contemporary art projects, teaching online and doing therapy for groups and individuals. Currently, I would like to use my experience to help the elderly or disabled people (autistic children as well), so I am very much interested in such projects.
I love traveling, I love art and nature, I love meeting new people and share my culture, but honestly, sometimes I need time and place to be with myself. So housesitting can also be a great idea for me from time to time.
Also, I'm a former tour guide worked in different regions of Russia and Europe, so I've seen and know a lot of interesting stuff:)

More details about your skills
I have an education in art, linguistics and psychology, so I am very happy to apply them in my activities as an art and natural psycotherapist, a teacher of Russian as a second language, and also as an art curator.
I can teach Russian (any level), my laptop always travels with me, and it contains a huge amount of my own materials. At the same time, everyday life provides even more opportunities for learning. I find the process of learning other languages incredibly exciting, so we can learn other languages together.
As a therapist, I form my own method, including expressive arts and natural practices, body psychotherapy, breathing and folklore practices. I am happy to share my skills and I am interested in folklore and traditional practices exchange.
As an art curator, I always have ideas for the next art projects, so if you are interested in participating, we can makeit together.
Finally, I love culinary experiments, dogs, porcelain, doing something new with my hands (but also with the help of AI), fill my blogs (not too much systematically) and I am definitely open to new experiences.

What else ...
I would like to find a place for one or two months to work on my photography-related projects (one for a small-town city museum, the other for a contemporary art gallery). It's a sort of... dream for now.
