CURRENT MISSION

Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof. My mission is to find mine.

ABOUT ME

I tried many things, i did a lot, like most of you - played drums, started relationships, broke promises, dreamed, lived for myself, run away from home, came back, wrote poems, fell in love, fell out of love, practiced incredible sports and so on.

And still Im trying to find out what I have been created for.

My job did a good job for me, literally. I organize unique trips all around the world, and therefore travel a lot. You would say im lucky, but there are some negative sides as well. For example, whatever new place I visit I want to stay there forever. This lasting hunger makes me move constantly or get ready for the new travels.
We have recently started owr own travel guidebooks project. First destination is Costa Rica. If you live there guys and can help, im buying you beer.

Im happily married and me and my husband Sasha usually travel together.
