ABOUT ME

Don't want to write lots of things about me since it's a bit borring to read a big book about my life, so sorry if it's not that much to understand who I am. Though, I hope, it's more than enough :)

I'm 20 y.o. sweet and lovely person from St Petersburg, in love with Iceland and Scandinavia.
Love music, can play lot's of musical Instruments, such as piano, cello, guitar, banjo and a few others. Also sport, food, nature and people are my passions.
Of course, oddly enough (sarcasm), I love to travel. I drove more than 6,000 kilometers hitchhiking in Iceland, Europe and Russia. This is not so much, but, nevertheless, I have a baggage of stories that I will gladly share with you! And I will listen to yours, of course, this is the main reason why I am here! And I will also teach you how to cook Russian pancakes and how to drink vodka Russian way, if you want, of course! So... Already looking forward to your message!

PHILOSOPHY
