About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm Malina, a longterm traveller now living in Tbilisi, Sakhartvelo.

I enjoy hiking in the mountains, exploring ancient ruins, going for picnics, creating art, meeting new people and dancing.
I am following my inspirations, living my dreams, and celebrating the moment.

CURRENT MISSION

Build community in Tbilisi and make the most of this amazing place!

PHILOSOPHY

Go beyond borders.

The parts of ourselves that we project are reflected back to us. What you put energy into will return to you. Focus on what you want to see more of in the world.

This moment, right now, is filled with potential. Find beauty and joy in every day.
Share your gifts. We all make an impact. Make a positive one.
