I am Mariam. Usually friends call me Mako. I was born in Georgia and I am in love with my country. I seek adventures all the time and take every possibility. My current target is learning, that's why I live in Turku (Finland) to make my Master's degree here.

I am easy going, calm and open minded person. I like joking and having fun with friends.

I like cooking very much! Especially making Geogian traditional meals. I am dancing my traditional dances as well.

I love traaaaaaaaaaaveling!

I do my best to write novels about my experience or paint something. It's kind of meditation for me.

I like to share my ideas to different people with different minds!

I love music, especially group Queen! I also listen to classical music.
On my free time, I make handmade things, I like hand crafting things and now I have my own business in Georgia.

Now I live in Turku, Finland. I seek time to travel around Finland. Now I am arranging to travel in Sweden and Denmark

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year (2015) I found out that Queen was arranging concert. I had no money for travelling. It was very expensive to travel from Georgia to Prague, so I decided to make a business. New year's eve was near, so I decided to buy ordinary balls, that was very very cheap and make hand craft things by using balls. I made my own page on Facebook, called "Olwen / ოლვენი - ხელნაკეთი აქსესუარები". In 2 days 5 big companies arranged meeting with me. They booked lots of balls for new year's eve. In a week I was business lady, having my own business! Having money, I fulfilled my dream to attend my favorite group's concert!
in 2018 I got a certificate when I swam in an frozen Baltic sea!
