About Me

* Head in the clouds. I'm one of those people who go out and don't remember whether they locked the door or not.
* Enjoy the change of scenery, but dedicated to my little rituals no matter where I am.
* Prefer a chill evening under the blanket to a noisy night out.
* Sweet tooth. Would voluntarily eat condensed milk for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
* Laugh at stupid pun jokes.
* Sometimes very random.

PHILOSOPHY

I can't think about that right now. ... I'll think about that tomorrow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: whatever fits the moment...
http://www.last.fm/user/ametistia1

Books: I love dictionaries. While other girls were getting dresses and mobile phones for their birthdays my parents were buying me Longman Contemporary English and massive volumes of English-Ukrainian dictionary. With google translate and multitran people have forgotten both the pain and romanticism of thumbing through the 1000 pages book - a process which sometimes took you more than a minute to look up a word.

I grew up reading adult stories of Stephen King, and now I'm fond of children's non-fiction books of Terry Deary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* lived in a fire station for 2 weeks
* lost a backpack with all the valuables in a tram and then found it (ich liebe Deutschland! :-)
* drove 1500 km with 45 Dutch football fans while working as their Ukrainian walkie-talkie
* spent 3 weeks with a group of kids in the UK (believe me, that was no mean feat)
* survived road crossing in Asia and 4000 km of bike trip around Vietnam

Teach, Learn, Share

I can:
* teach survival Ukrainian/Russian
* show basic ukulele chords and play you some songs
* give you an amateur yoga class
* share my passion and knowledge about my home city Lviv. I've worked as a tour guide for 2 years and still have a bunch of interesting legends up my sleeve
