Bio: 28 year-old Andrei was born in Voronezh, Russia. His mother was a doctor, his father a sports coach who coached boxing. From an early age Andrei was exposed to a sporty lifestyle and he grew up as a fit and healthy child who enjoyed sports. As he was rather a hyperactive child, his mother sent him to gymnastics, a sport in which he began to excel at. During his teenage years, he discovered fencing and became hooked on the sport, which soon took over his social life. Soon he was competing on an international level and he loved every moment of it; his dream became to compete in the Olympics.

Andrei graduated from the Sport Academy of Russia, with an honours degree in fencing. At 20, the boy became a member of the Russian National Team. His youngster dreams came true when he got to compete in the Athens and Beijing Olympics.

During an International competition, the male badly injured his ankle, taking him out of the competition. After surgery to fix the injury, Andrei was forced to give up the sport in order to recover. His coach Sergei decided to send the recovering athlete to Miami. Sergei’s reasoning was that his athlete needed to get far away from Europe into a tropical city with a party atmosphere.

Confident and focused, Andrei aims high and won’t stop until he achieves his goals. Outside of his sport, he can be rather charming. However now, due to his lack of fluency in English he at times feels rather shy and excluded. Although he knows some English, it is still rather broken, which makes for some misunderstandings. He enjoys going out to explore Miami and has taken up photography. However, not one to give up sports completely, Andrei is planning on getting riding lessons at the local stables.

Privet Andrei! Kak dela?

*A vi? Kak u vas dela?: And you? How are things with you?*

Hello Ms Boa Vista. Nice to meet you.

And hello Mr Wallcroft. You're British, no? Interesting to meet people here from Europe.

Hello Mr. Maximov. Welcome to America

Thank you Ms Sloan. It is interesting to be here.

Please call me Theory. So how are you liking it here so far? Meet many new people?

Miami is...interesting. Very different from my home.
Not meeting many new people, no. Hard to go out and meet people when on...how you call it? On crutches. People give weird looks at bar. So I mostly go out and explore city on my own.

Oh well. I could always show you around if you would like.

That would be nice, thank you

Yes, Mr.Maximov, I m British, it is rather interesting to get to meet a Russian, never had much contact with them though most of my time in the Army was training in case of a war with the Russians

Well, Mr Maximov, ~ya otchin harasho.
(~i'm very good)

More then welcome Mr. Maximov. Just let me know when you want to go.

Hello there Mr Maximov. Hope you enjoy Miami sun

Mr Wallcroft: Ah, an army man. I don't think you have to worry about a war with us any time soon; the current government seems to be too lazy to start anything new, let alone a war.

Ms Delgado: Rad eto slishat. Your Russian is good. Where you learn?
*Rad eto slishat: Glad to hear it.*

Theory: Any time is fine. As you can probably tell, I have a lot of free time. And please, call me Andrei.

Ms Foster: Thank you, I am certain I shall. Interesting city, this. So much...how is called? Diversity. And so colourful. Not many pink-haired people in Voronezh *chuckle*

Well ok Andrei. Nice to meet you.
