CURRENT MISSION

make art, not war!

But seriosly, now my mission is to show to my little son all beauty of the world, the kindness of people, and that there are no frontiers between simple people.

ABOUT ME

I m from deep south of Russia, very near to Ukraina.
I lived 10 years in St. Petersbourg, 1 year in Moscow, 3 years in Paris and last 8 years in Barcelona.
I will be happy to share my expiriense about ich of this places.

My work is decorations for escape-rooms, art-objects, hand-made dolls and designe toys (you can see some in fotos here or Instagram @kayadolls and @hollydollyballs ).

My favourite way to spend time is to get lost in foreign cities without map and meet interesting people.
Hope soon I can come back to traveling with my son.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment you can stay in our appartments in Volgodonsk (its small city in the south of Russia). Now my mum and dad will host you, she is amazing artist and he is a great traveler, and they both likes idea of couchsurfing very much.
