Interests

Ksenia - I'm a travel planner. Right now studying mindfulness, embodiment, meditation and conscious consumerism. Like contrasts of our world: big crowded cities and peaceful beauty of nature, climbing high and dive deep, watching into people eyes and listen to the peoples' lives, meditate and talk about "forbidden" things, such as death, offence, stress, fears,... Like to learn new and watch how it works in life.
My passion is freediving, travelling out of tracks, nature creatures, mindfulness, enjoytish lifestyle, speciality coffee and live music (especially jazz!).
I'm eco-friendly person, live as environmental stewardship and am in total love with all animals, all creatures. Our planet is such an unique place!)

Alex - a programmer with a big experience, can explain how things works, like to talk about sciences, prefer to spend a cold part of year closer to equator and coral reefs.)

Both of us are official freedivers now! SSI Level 1, and we want to go deeper!)

Any new experience will open one more face of our wonderful world!
