About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finished my studies in Germany...finally!!!
Meet new people, stay in touch with old friends, travel the world and decide where to go next :D

ABOUT ME

I grew up in two places Russia, Moscow and Yokohama, Japan :) (but i still cant make a proper origami paper crane). This experience changed my way of thinking in so that I still get surprised sometimes.

I love learning languages, the ones I dont know yet, and the ones I can speak fluently, the world becomes a little bit bigger with every new word (I am quite lazy i have to admit).

Apart from that, my daily life consists of cooking, painting, drawing and blogging.

PHILOSOPHY

Miracles happen every day :)
Life is too short to waste it on people who can only think and talk in cliches.
It is important to keep the childlike curiosity and the ability to be surprised about the world.
