Traveler, reader, food lover. Happiness, freedom, weirdness, love (I'm a bit hippie, too). Last minutes before the deadline, different socks, foreigners, changes, and equality are my life priorities.
Break the rules, stay reckless and wild :)

I did not go to Hogwarts, nor find Narnia in my closet, but reality tried to make up for it, so I am indeed a student of 3 universities in 3 different countries (the USA, Colombia, and Ukraine) with 3 majors (Philosophy, Political sciences, and Economics). I also work for the Israeli game development company ironSource and, probably more famous to you, Supersonic. At the same time, I have an internship in Canada, so my life is currently going around 5 different time zones.

My life was all about extremes like serving in the army preparational school in Isreal and then living in the Portuguese hippie caves, but the thing with me is that I am so much better with awkward jokes than descriptions of myself and my experience. What I should definitely say is that traveling is one of my favorite things in the whole world (same as peanut butter, cactuses, and my guinea pig) and it did change my life, so I cannot wait to hear and see it has changed yours.

Interests

So it’s gonna be a really long list and I believe, that you are ready.
1. First of all, 8 years I`ve conducted with my choir, with whom, I have been almost all around the world (33 countries – I have my own ‘travel-list`). Mostly there were tours, competitions, concerts etc. That was almost my profession. We call ourselves ‘the society of treble clef’. On choir I dedicate 6 hours a day, 5 days a week (without travels). I started as the youngest singer and become one of the best new soloist.
2. I`m the student of Ukrainian Leadership Academy and Ukrainian Catholic University, where I study political science, social work and philosophy, respectively.
3. I am also a winner of UGRAD program, so now I am going to Florida for exchange program.
4. I do a lot of volunteering, so my list of festivals and places I've been to is too long. So, I will name just some of them, maybe it will somehow interesting for you: World Economic Forum, Boomfestival, WebSummit.
5. And, obviously, BOOKS – that`s my life: I used to be a book worm. Lately I read mostly in English. At home I have a big wardrobe of language original books.
6. Yoga + martial arts + raves = Darka loves contrasts.
7. Self-education in all areas from management to ‘how properly tying your shoes’ by using Ukrainian and English online platforms as well.
8. I work with people with special needs and also as a trainer for dogs.
9. Fialry grown on the balcony.
10. I have herbarium, collect cups.
11. Bycicle – it`s like my “third arm”.
12. I`m making eco-tourism. My mum is ecologist, so that’s a part of my genes. From childhood she had taken me in different expeditions with crazy scientists and researchers, who, when they saw some small insect with dots on the body, not where it needs to be, getting mad, and as children run with a net on the whole forest and catch this unfortunate creature.
13. My life is a solid indie music.
14. I perfectly mastered the ability to wear different socks.
15. Love walking around second – hands and bying things in boho-style.
16. Watching NBC Nightly News with Dad, keep me informed of all latest developments and breaking stories.
17. Sometimes I can just say `meow` without any reason.
...and a lot of others really strange things, that you can hear only in the conversation with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Actually, I was born, I think that`s enought.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to survive in -30 in the mountains without food and fire, but with the tobacco. Also, I can teach you how to prepare Ukrainian traditional food, even though I hate cooking.
Also, I am a DJ, so I would like to introduce to you some new era of Ukrainian music that, believe me, you should like.
