ABOUT ME

Born in Saint-Petersburg, I love this city, despite having got pretty bored of it for its uncertain weather, which often makes me occupy my bed instead of business. As the majority of people graduated in humanities, I make all and nothing: I like to paint, to wolk, to cook, to go to the cinema, to read.

PHILOSOPHY

The owls are not what they seem.
