CURRENT MISSION
Hi everyone!
My husband Ricky and I just recently moved to Ghent. We're trying to adopt here, learn the culture, make new friends. And it's going good. :)

My current mission is to find a job in Ghent, get new friends and keep discovering the world. :)

ABOUT ME

I'm kazakh who was born in St.Petersburg. And I'm really glad that I can say it's my hometown. I'm in love with this city.
As I think I'm sociable and easy-going.
I love traveling, dancing, singing, active sport like rollerblading, ice-skating, running.
I'd like to discover something new for myself, break stereotypes about other countries and about Russians! Like about vodka and famous "na zdorovie".
I like reading, watching different movies, series, listening music :))
And at 18 years old I jumped with parachute!
During one of my journeys I met an incredibly kind and amazing guy who's my husband now. We have the same interests, especially in traveling. So we travel together.
