CURRENT MISSION

Looking to explore the big sky of the world. Minimalist living is not intimidating, it sounds inspiring because the experiences you'll have will last longer than any lifeless object.

ABOUT ME

I am hopelessly in love with the sails and the smell of roads...

I do yoga, meditation and study energy practices...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In April 2015, survived the big earthquake in Nepal. Later, helped people in mountain villages after the earthquake - distributed tents and food to adults and pencils and albums for children

Was hiking in Himalaya mountains on the North of India

Quit a stable job in Kiev to start backpacking around the world trip and came to appreciate the simple things that make us happy
;))))

Stayed for vipassana meditation course in Cambodia

10-21/10/2016 I was certified as Thai massage therapist for body and foot massage :)

In South-East Asia I almost didn't use couchsurfing because every night I stayed in different temples....

When I stayed in Thai's temple for few weeks, monks made me а spiritual tattoo of the entire back size.

Didn't eat anything during 4 weeks, only drank water ;)
