I was born in Ufa, a city not far from the Urals. I graduated from univesity there, got married and moved to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. Now I'm exploring this wonderful part of Russia together with my husband :)
Except for my job of teaching English, I love painting and pottery and can't imagine a couple of days without doing one thing or another. I even travel with oil paints or at least a sketchbook.
My husband, Andrey, is into sport (football, snowboarding), he has also tried hang gliding.
We both love travelling and discovering the world together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being just a novice at snowboarding I tried backcountry together with my husband. It was exhausting, climbing knee- and waist-deep in snow, but it the view from the top of the mountain was absolutely worth it.

And I also swam in a river at -25°C.

And Andrey has jumped with parachute.

I've visited 36 countries, and Andrey - 31.
