Anzhela Karamysheva
Originally from Russia, but consider herself an international person, a digital nomad. She’s been traveling for the past 12 years. She earned her master’s degree in tourism and hospitality at the Saint Petersburg State University of Technology and Design. Then she started to travel with different types of contracts beginning at 19 years old. She’s tried many different jobs depending on which country she traveled to. Animation, entertainment, tourism, and the restaurant business. The purpose was always- traveling. Her passion. Her way of living. Covid came and it clipped her wings and earnings. She suffered from inner drama thinking how to change her life and quickly realized she’s proficient in the English language which came to her naturally during her travels. She enrolled herself for a second diploma at the Bridge education group and graduated with a TEFL/TESOL international diploma along with taking additional courses. That’s how her story began.
