Crossroads Eurasia is an experience that I wish I could have had when I was a student — a “live-and-observe” experience, not a classroom experience. I’m an eager traveller and have visited over 45 countries. At Crossroads, I am the liaison between the students and the local coordinators, making sure that expectations are aligned and the students are ready to travel.

Living, working, and studying in a different country can a life-changing experience. In co-founding Crossroads, I wanted to give students an opportunity to benefit from such an experience and to create the life-long friendships that enrich how we understand and relate to a country like Russia. I support Crossroads in its marketing and alumni engagement. I live in London.

Hello! My name is Elena. I’m a teacher by profession and for a long time worked in Moscow (with a stop in California along the way). Our summer camps unite internationally minded children and adults who bring a positive attitude and want to do something good for others. It’s a truly wonderful atmosphere that I hope you can be a part of it. I look forward to seeing you!

I was a student in my second year with little experience of Russia when I came across Crossroads. Through my internship, I experienced a country that has fascinated me and propelled me into a year’s living and studying in St Petersburg, an experience that inspired many of my life choices. Now I’m back in Scotland, soon to embark on my final year of Russian and Philosophy. At Crossroads, I manage our flow of applications and make sure that applicants are offered the best match from the internships we have on offer.
