Hey there! My name is Katya, I am originally from Russia, Novosibirsk, but I have not lived there in a long time. 5 years ago I moved to the US, Florida to study. I studied Finance and MIS at my school, but I also Co-Foundered an online marketplace for students called "UniMates" with which I tried to better the students' lives and enrich their college experienced. In 2018 I moved to San Francisco. However this did not last for too long: after working full time in SV, I decided to move on from business and moved to Bali to be a tarot reader and meditation coach. After that I took a trip to India for the spiritual growth-this put me back on track with my inner self and my purpose. Currently I am a digital nomad: I travel and work online as a project manager.
Also, on the side I study Buddhism, mindfulness and practice yoga. I love traveling, connecting with unique diverse people and discovering the world's wonders. I like to discover places where I feel in a balance with myself and environment. So far my favorite was Dharamshala in India. On top of this, I do a lot of hiking, running, practice yoga, mindedness, and gymnastics.
