About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do what I like & seize the day!

ABOUT ME

I've finished Saint-Petersburg state university, faculty of economic sociology (in 2013). Currently live in Moscow. I work, volunteer, travel, dance, read, draw... I came to St-Pete from Ural (middle of Russia) and fell in love with this city. I like my life and my friends. I do like get to know new people, meet different traditions and ways of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I do like my life and try to enjoy each moment. I wanna try everything and challenge myself. Moreover, I truly believe that everyone can do whatever he wants. Your life - it's up to you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like funny films as 'Holidays', serious as '127 hours' and inspiring as 'Pay it forward'.
I do like Jack London's stories and novels. His characters are brave and generous - it's awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've seen - is a life as it is. For me, life is the most unpredictable miracle.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: everything about Russia (language, cusine, traditional games etc.). Also I can help with leading a team, organisation of an event, planning a project (did it many times).
Learn: Being an inquisitive person, I like learning as a process. So I wanna learn a lot of things, what do you can teach me?:)
Share: books I've read, places I've visited, discoveries I've made. May share my experience.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Russian Federation, Serbia
