Ilia

I am a very open and communicative person who absolutely loves to travel, explore new cultures and learn new things.  In my spare time, I read 20th Century literature, write short stories, think about languages, history and politics, and bike!

I was raised in Montreal, Canada and lived abroad for nearly 3 years. I spent a year in Vietnam and another one in Taiwan, and shorter periods of time in Greece, the Balkans and Turkey.

I'm a former Government of Canada civil servant with over six years of teaching experience.
