ABOUT ME

My friends call me the The Dutch-German of Russia. I was born in Russia, lived there until I was 9 years old, moved then to Germany and with 23 I went to the Netherlands. I took from each country my little typical streaks. Since October 2012 I have been living in Berlin and it happend that I felt in love with this city.

All in one I am a very curious person, who likes to look behind the curtain. I am usually calm, happy and easy going, while engaging in social interactions, learning about different cultures and the human mind. Learning is everything and I´ll never stop. The world is a gift and our biggest problem is to handle this :)

I love people who can inspire me, authentic conversations and the excitement to experience something new.

PHILOSOPHY

“The key question to keep asking is: are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have. ”

"Find your purpose in life and give your inner gift to the world."
