About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be true to myself and all around me.See the world, share stories.

ABOUT ME

one spring day... a sly wind blew in from the north, calling me forth of my journey of life in travel.

……………………………………^_^……………………………………..

On ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. You can see clearly only with the heart. The essence cannot be seen with the eyes. The Little Prince

……………………………………^_^……………………………………..

I admire creativity, connectedness, individuality and purity in all forms. I learn from children and animals, fervently loyal and generous to a fault.

It’s a cliché that life’s a one big journey. But that’s the way it is. And there’s so much to discover and experience on this planet. I couldn’t bear the thought that I would have to live my life with the biggest experience being a one-week trip to Canary Islands after working in an office for one year straight. Routine kills everything. I wish people would find the “wanderer within”.

……………………………………^_^……………………………………..

In less poetic terms, I am a 28 y.o. web/graphic designer and front-end developer hailing from Vancouver, BC. Born in Ukraine, I spent my youth hopping the Himalayan Mountains and traveling through Asia and Europe in search for beauty and self discovery. I attended university, volunteered and enjoyed working in the event industry creating and producing grand events for world's leading companies and corporations. In running my own web design business, I found a perfect synergy for my outgoing, friendly personality, highly cultivated sense of aesthetics, love of coding, and maddening need for perfect order in all things.

ALSO - I am a very happy person in general, you will see when you meet me! Smile big! :)

PHILOSOPHY

In every moment there is perfection, it worth to make it matter.
