Born in Ukraine and based in Brooklyn, NY since I was 9, so I’m a healthy mix of Soviet Spy and Gangstalicious. I’m a crazy cat lady but will also exclaim in baby voice admiration over all things furry - and pigs. I’ve been vegetarian for 8 years with occasional seafood indulgence (fish don’t have fur), but I’m way past the stage of trying to convert others to the dark side. I’ve been told I was raised by wolves so I’m not entirely house broken and have little competency in formalities, but I usually shake hands gracefully. I guess I should mention that I quit my comfortable NYC medical spa marketing job with a one way ticket to India to become a yoga teacher and travel the world in March 2018. - buuuuut then I went back to NYC medical spa a year later because I actually love what I do.

I’m big on artsy pictures of the Instagram variety so you can check out my travel gallery @donna.ananda

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Vipassana 10 day silent meditation course in Nepal probably ties with 10 day plant medicine retreat in Peru.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I know some stuff if my memory is in a good mood

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

A pragmatic and unusual world view, an unconditional love for your pets, and a terrible singing voice.
