Lived in Crimea 🌊 before the annexation. Used to escape the winter in Ukraine every year previously — and that’s exactly how I ended up in Thailand, Mexico, Columbia, Egypt, and Mauritius! During these times, I learned to love the life on the road, jumping on a plane/bus/train without knowing where to sleep the next night. I fully explored the joy of meeting new people, getting to know various cultures, and discovering new places as well as learned to treasure these moments.

🍷🗣️ A huge lover of good food, good wine, good coffee, and a good chat!

🌱 Vegetarian for 5+ years (no meat except for some fish and seafood). However, I can deal living a co-existence with people who are not vegetarians, recommend places with meat, and can even cook meat with you 😅

PHILOSOPHY

It costs $0 to be a nice person 😀

Only two things we will regret on deathbed that we are a little loved and little traveled
(Mark Twain)

A man has two lives. The second one starts once you realize that you only have one.

And here is my art of living 😌
