ABOUT ME

I have been living in Moscow for (ever?:), felt at some point that I want to move around, travel, see different faces, listen to new stories. I quit my big and serious job in a big and serious company, moved out of the apartment, picked couple of skirts out of pile of clothes, packed them in a small backpack and hit the road.

I lived in Spain for 2,5 months, then flew to Asia. Now I'm in Hoi An and loving it.
