Hello! my name is Alisa, and I’ve been living in Minsk for 8 years now. I'm fond of nature and slow travelling, and my biggest dream is to eventually have a garden on my own off the city. In Minsk, I work in the cultural sphere and organise (along with my wonderful friends) different music concerts and other events as well as a movie club. I also like analog collage and photography. All these things help me meet fantastic people and learn more about the world around me.

Music, Movies, and Books
I’m a fan of reading. I specifically love Tove Jansson, Susan Sontag, Mayakovskiy, Françose Sagan,Donna Tartt, etc. Cinema is my passion as well – I love Rohmer, Varda, Kusturitsa and so many more directors… I would be glad to rake tour movie recommendations !:) I also love music and organise musical events in Minsk. I enjoy both new and old artists: La Femme, Pink Floyd, Aphex Twin and Nils Frahm….
One Amazing Thing I've Done
My whole life is an amazing thing and I enjoy every moment of it. The thing I remember the most is spontaneously moving to Israel when I was 18 and my WWOOFing trip to France which was breathtaking and full of events.
My Interests
I practice film photography for a few years now, film makes my pictures full of nostalgia :) I also enjoy yoga and i'd like to learn more about different practices. I'm passionate about languages and linguistics, that's why I'm learning French and plan to start Norwegian and Italian. I love old French cinema and discussing it is always a pleasure. And of course I love learning, i'm curious and traveling gives me the opportunity to find out crazy things about our world :) My instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hlebnaya_korochka
