MARIA
Where are you from? Moscow, Russia
How long did you stay in Korea? Just one month!! And I'm gonna leave a month later.
Which is the most interesting thing in Korea? Churches! I was so shocked when I understood that bright neon crosses on buildings, looked like crosses from Starboy music video it's a church designation. I have never seen churches like this before.
Where is your favorite place in Seoul? Definitely, my favorite place is Garosu-Gil. In this street you can find anything: expensive boutiques, showrooms of Korean designers, cheap vintage markets, restaurants with traditional Korean food, cute coffee shops and cosmetics shops with good Korean natural products for skin, beautiful buildings, and so many stylish people. In Moscow we have the same street, it's called Patriarch Ponds, and maybe it's the reason why I love it so much.
Who is the most fashionable person in the world? So simple, Rihanna.
What is one hobby that you will never give up? Traveling. For me, it is so important to know more about the cultures of other countries and to feel the unique atmosphere of it. I'm thankful to my parents that they gave me a chance to do it. Maybe one of the reasons why I choose modeling is because girls can travel around the world because of a job.
:What are you doing on your days off? I'm trying to visit new places and meet new people here, it's so interesting for me. As I said earlier, I like to communicate with foreign people and I want to know more about the cultures of their countries and more about their lifestyle.
Do you have any plans to go back to Moscow? No! I don't know what I'll do and where it'll be tomorrow/in one week/after a month, but I'm sure that I'll be happy and I'll find something to do. Just improvising.
What are the biggest differences between Moscow and Seoul? People. I'm very sad to admit it, but Korean people are more kind, positive and polite, than people In our country. For example, if you are lost they are always trying to help you to find the right way. Also, the crime rate in Korea is much lower than in Russia.
What was the best memory in Korea? My best memories were from my first days here. This trip was my first trip without friends or family, and this is the reason why I was afraid and nervous before I left Moscow. But in my first days, I realized that I'm in a wonderful place with amazing people, that I feel so comfortable here, and I'm very grateful to my agency for this.
Can you express this country with one word or one phrase? Unforgettable!!
