About Me

CURRENT MISSION

How does this work?

ABOUT ME

Sometimes i go back to Kazakhstan where i grew up for work. I work as a fixer (someone who helps foreign journalists in Kazakhstan) and translator (English/Russian). I love helping people get what they want, so this job is perfect. When it happens. Which doesn't seem to be the case in winter.
