About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Love, give, learn, evolve, connect, explore!

ABOUT ME

I left my homeland in Russia in 1990 and immigrated first to Denmark and then to Montreal, Canada. Since then destiny brought me travelling, studying, living and working in many parts of the world. I am fascinated by the miracle of life and people. I try being a good citizen of the planet to the best of my ability and understanding and, of course, have some fun in the process. I try to be truthful and kind, to appreciate, accept and respect each person and each moment for what they are. I am a Sagittarian, therefore I love to explore within and without, collect experiences, learn and discover and then share it all with a good laughter.

PHILOSOPHY

“By your choice dwell you now in the world which you have created. What you hold in your heart shall be true, and what you most admire, that shall you become.
Fear not, not be dismayed of the appearance that is darkness, at the disguise that is evil, at the empty cloak that is death, for you have picked these for your challenges. They are stones on which your choose to whet the keen edge of your spirit.
Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.
No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing... “
- this beautiful quote by R.Bach describes it better than I possibly could.
