About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be positive!

ABOUT ME

Currently an art student in Paris (upd. 02/11/2018) Worked in the cinema and theater before but it's such a long stroy.

I'm not a touristic traveller so I rather go to an unknown place then visit some must see. I like to talk to people when I travel and to discover their way of life, so the best for me will be to share someone's everyday routine.

Don't have a stable home place as I haved moved so much the last years. But if by chance I'm ok to host I might have cats. Please write me in the beginning of your request that you are not allergic to animals.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want to do!
