Hey, you can call me Alex.
INFJ-T… so yes, I have big dreams, maybe strong intuition 👀
I’ve been on InterPals for over 10 years. Not because I’m stuck here, but because I genuinely love languages, cultures, and meeting interesting people. Profiles are like little books (yep, actually read them) so I hope mine was at least mildly entertaining :)
I care a lot about animals and I’m part of an animal protection organization ♥️
If you’re visiting Russia, feel free to ask me anything. I don’t bite (unless you’re delicious)
Requests
Please be kind and keep things easy.
I have my own rhythm and private time, and sometimes time zones make replies slower. If you need instant responses 24/7, I’m probably not your buddy, nothing personal 🙌🏻
Language Exchange Requests
Looking to learn French, Chinese, Thai, or Lithuanian. If you're a native speaker of any of these, let's chat! I can help you with Russian or English in return. 😊
Hobbies & Interests
I write articles and some stories from time to time. I enjoy working with plants because it keeps me grounded and clears my mind. Calligraphy is another thing I practice; I like the precision and the discipline behind it. I often spend time walking in parks, mostly because quiet places help me reset and think. Living on my own pushed me to cook a lot, and now I genuinely enjoy experimenting with new ideas in the kitchen. I also keep ants, which usually surprises people, but it is far more interesting than it sounds (I have a blog about antkeeping).
I have not traveled much yet, but I want to see more of the world and experience it firsthand. As for animals, I have a particular love for elephants, whales, and ants.
My first musical obsession was Michael Jackson… Since then, my playlist has just kept expanding in every possible direction.
Some songs that feel very “me”:
The Chain Gang of 1974 - Sleepwalking
Tom Petty - Love Is A Long Road
Journey - Any Way You Want It
Michael Jackson - Break Of Dawn
Harry Belafonte - Day-O
John Lennon - Imagine
Richard Harris - MacArthur Park (if you like that song, I gonna marry you ❤️)
Enya - Orinoco Flow
Blondie - Maria
