ABOUT ME

I am a 21 year old girl, born in Siberia. When I tell people this sometimes don't really believe it myself, and think myself lucky to be able to tell people this in the first place because when I was little I used to go outside and stick my tongue to frozen surfaces such as doors and fences to see how long I could keep it there until I knew if I kept it there any longer I would become tongueless.
I moved to Australia with my family when I was 9, but sorry, I don't have a pet kangaroo. I consider myself an Aussie through and through (i WILL correct you if you tell me to throw a shrimp on the barbie - they're called PRAWNS people).
Now I'm traveling the US, and in my free time I'm a college student majoring in various kinds of political things and lycanthropy.

.... or in a nutshell: gypsy, nomad, vagabondddd.

PHILOSOPHY

A string of pearls behind your hair
A music box to catch your tears

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New Orleans. Everything about it, all of it, the whole deal. The place pulsates with life and vibe unlike any other I've visited. and the Louisiana Bayou...oh man. Taking a pirogue and a paddle down the winding canals of the swamps while holding a baby croc in the palm of your hand like its no biggie is one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had.
