About Me

CURRENT MISSION

working on the greater good

ABOUT ME

I love doing fun things; I love sports and all kind of activities. I'm painting with oil and making photographs on film (I really like good old film photography)
I have a cat.

I love travelling and I think that everyone should have a possibility to see the world. It's a pity that for people from some countries it can be so hard to cross the borders
I love watching movies and reading books.
I'm more of a home-person, I know nothing about night-life in Kyiv, so if you're interested in visiting some night clubs or something like that - choose someone else)
I like playing different boardgames and collectible card games with friends)
I'm an open-minded person

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in a freedom of our minds, I do not believe in borders, mental and physical. Life is meaningless, but we can still do things that help us to get through our lives with happiness.
Don't try to live in the past, don't try to live in the future; present moment is the only thing that matters.

' I want to live, I want to give'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living on the coast with snakes and sand everywhere for a few days. Even though I don't really love camping, the most exciting memories happened then

I love textile arts and I'm currently creating a series of embroideries so I can teach you about that.
