Hi! I’m Ellen from Russia:) I really like travelling and exploring the world.

I’m a big fan of writing (I have my own travel blog in Russian), and also I write some poetry from time to time. Also stories, articles, essays, something very abstract... Pretty much everything:)

I love long walks, long talks, any kind of shore near the water (river, sea, ocean), exploring new places and sharing stories and experience with new people. I believe that even small actions for good can make a big difference.

Very soon I’m going to change my life and make a big step forward in terms of getting to know who I am and what I can do for others.

Here’s my small insta profile: https://www.instagram.com/lenny.gurr
