CURRENT MISSION

I'm a journalist

ABOUT ME

I'm an entertainment journalist from Russia. I also have my monthly DJ party in Moscow. I enjoy traveling: usually go to New York, just got back from a great trip to Israel (via Taglit program).

I enjoy meeting new people, share stories and experiences and I would describe myself as a very friendly and fun person.

I love music, cinema, dancing and exploring the world. I'm also the goofiest one in room most of the time.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the better you, work your ass off, be passionate and never give up. If you can't make it, then try harder.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love all kinds of people. As a journalist and a writer I see everyone's life story as an intriguing story that I can share with the world (and I usually do).

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of stories about Russia and travelling the world, some more or less decent jokes and general positive vibe. I can also recommend you a good movie or two.
