About Me

I am all about the vibrant shiny international culture experiences!
And learning from first hand experiences.
For the past 24 years of my life its been Russia->England->Holland->England->India->Spain-> Australia->India :) Sap Cuch Melega
Since the age of 10 I lived and got educated in city - Nottingham, after which I moved to London to study for 3 years.
I am very much into art and dance... anything creative. I studied Fashion Design BA at London College of Fashion (graduated in 2013), but I dont think I want to be that specific and go solely into fashion industry, but extend my horizons into unreachable corners of the artistic world. I also really like juggling with LED and Fire Poi.
Also I just cant stop buying flight tickets to explore more different countries and learn about new cultures. After I graduated I went for a 6 month travel in India... it was fascinating to learn about the eastern philosophy, the Hindu religion, the family traditions of the country and just go a little crazy traveling all over India. Also since I am into yoga and holistic arts.
After I came back from India I went to live in Ibiza, and ended up getting a job as a costume designer for one of the bigger clubs. It was alot of fun, but too much crazy lifestyle... now I prefer something a little more chilled out and shanti.

I find the best way to travel is when you can really get to know the people who are locals to the place, integrate with the surroundings, maybe learn the language and pick up the most beautiful aspects of that culture for you to keep.
