Hi, I’m Arina!

I’m a software engineer originally from Russia, now living in Tbilisi, Georgia. I work in tech as a software developer and am currently studying to become a machine learning engineer and data scientist. I’m curious about almost everything, from tarot cards to quantum physics, and I love listening to people’s stories about their lives. Sometimes, it’s even more interesting than a blockbuster!

I have two cute dogs, and they are often the only reason I take a break from work. While I haven’t traveled much yet, I’m always open to new experiences and connections. I’m looking forward to meeting locals and fellow travelers, sharing stories, and making great memories along the way.

I'm up to hiking, dancing, cooking, chilling with or without wine, watching movies, walking, actually almost anything
