ABOUT ME

Hello!
My name is Daria, I live in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I love my city - it is very beautiful and has a character like a person. But since early childhood I want to see the world outside of my city.
Right now I left my cozy place in S-P and started a south journey. I'm writing these lines in a bar in Sochi, where I hang out with my wonderful bartender friend. Where will I go next? I don't know, and this is the most interesting part about all this situation.

What else can I say about me? Me and my friend ran a small cabaret bar in SP for a year, and I think it kinda defined me as a person. Now I am planning to open a big bar, so I'm searching for my dream team, and it feels like searching for true love in romantic comedies.
I'm an ukulele lover, and I always overpay for luggage just to take my beloved Jellyfish the Ukulele with me. I'm not a very good uke player, so I never play on public, but I can collaborate with you if you have musical instruments and suggestions.
I am a happy owner of Laptevyh Sea the cat, she is the cutest little thing in the world.
I adore Iceland and everything about Icelandic culture. I even started learning Icelandic language. I have been to Iceland in summer of 2015, hitchhiking alone, and it changed my whole life. This truly is an experience which I would recommend to everyone.
I have a lot of happy and sad stories which I would love to share, so let's meet up and share our experience :)

And if you know Russian, you can read my blog (it is sad) dzetah.livejournal.com

Меня зовут Даша. Вообще я живу в Петербурге и люблю свой город больше всего на свете, но этой зимой я очень замёрзла и переехала в Сочи. Куда дальше - не знаю, есть планы посетить Тель-Авив, Одессу и Львов, но планы очень расплывчатые.

Upd снова в СПб :)

Самая большая и интересная история из моей жизни - о том, как мы с моим драгоценным другом держали маленький бар в Питере. Теперь я мечтаю открыть свой большой и красивый бар с музыкой и поэтами, он снится мне по ночам, а сейчас я нахожусь в поисках своей команды мечты, и с этими поисками связан ещё миллион классных историй.
Я обожаю Исландию и все, что с Исландией связано, неистово, хотя и бессмысленно, учу исландский язык. Я была в Исландии летом 2015 года, автостопила в одиночестве, и это было потрясающе.
Я играю на укулеле и всюду вожу её с собой, скрежещу зубами, переплачиваю за багаж, но все равно вожу. А играю все равно плохо, так что нигде не выступаю. Но надеюсь как можно скорее это исправить.
У меня в запасе много весёлых и грустных (грустных больше) историй, но ещё больше я хотела бы послушать ваши. Так что давайте делиться культурным контекстом :)
