Name: Valentina Akilina Ivanova
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Hometown: Akureyri, Iceland
High School: Akureyri High
Do you know any Russian?: Yes; my parents are from Russia, so I am fluent.
Why do you want to study in Russia?:
My parents were born in Russia, and the tell me great stories of their lives back home. Of course, I have grown up learning Russian, Icelandic and English, but I have not had the chance to go to Russia and live there like my parents did.
I love Iceland and I love living in the small town of Akureyri, but there is so much more waiting for me out there, and I want to go back to my roots, to see what Russia is really like.
What do you hope to get out of your experience?:
I hope to learn more about where my faily comes from, as well as to have an advnture. It is not everyday that I get an opportunity to go to another country to study!
What are your interests?:
I love reading, dancing (I've done ballet since I was 5), languages, history, meeting new friends and just hanging out.
Should we know anything else about you?:
Not really. I am just excited to be here, to get the opportunity to come and study in Russia.
