University of Florida

Здравствуйте! My name is Douglas and I’m from Florida in the Southeastern US. I was born in Massachusetts and spent the first seven years of my life there. I attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida where I studied History and minored in Russian Language and Culture. I love language and experiencing different cultures because of the new people that it allows me to make a connection with. I began taking Russian classes in university because I was fascinated with US-Russian relations and considering a dual major in political science. The Russian Culture Club that we have at the University of Florida allowed me to immerse myself in Russian culture and make many Russian friends. I’m excited at the prospect of traveling to Russia for the first time and making friends there as well as learning more of the language!

I really love music and have some songs uploaded to the platform Soundcloud. I also love playing video games, watching American Football and Football, and meeting new people. I’m incredibly excited to teach and meet new people at the American Home!
