My name is Irina, but you can call me Danny (kinda gender neutral name). I'm 22 years old, from Buryatia (there Lake Baikal is) in Siberia, Russia.

I like books, different cultures and stuff from past times.

Honestly, there is nothing special I can say about myself, I'm kinda friendly, open-minded and not that extrovert

The only thing I want to do is to see the world, other cultures and everything that these cultures are reflected in and the best way to do it is to see how people in their countries live.

We should respect diversity (c)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like The Kooks, Kodaline, Hayley Kiyoko, AURORA, Sia, Troye Sivan, Oh Wonder, Parks, Squares & Alleys, Coldplay, Passenger, Milo Greene, The Tallest Man On Earth, TOP, The 1975, Ed Sheeran, The Neighborhood, Billie Eilish, Jason Mraz, Owl City, Tom Schilling & The Jazz Kids, covers by George Blagden, Wardruna, Noize MC, Russian group Сплин and BTS, of course.

Movies: I watch different movies by different directors, also I like Scandinavian movies (not detectives), the action is pretty slow over there and it's just everything I need, so pity it's not easy to describe. Most importantly, a movie should make me feel something. If it does, then that movie is a good one.

Books: books.. it's too complicated to explain my love to books. I like Russian classic literature, stories about travelers and past times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I realised myself being in the "river" of people in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. It turned out that the idea to travel in China during the holidays in May was not the good one, bc it was a hot tourist season for Chinese, but it was great to feel the power of croud.
