Where should I start? 🤔 Born in Sevastopol, Crimea, where lived half of my life. Than moved to study in Moscow. After graduation from Philological Department in MSU started PhD on Russian folklore, but later gave it up.

In childhood wanted to be rock-star or JKRowling, but became an editor working in press-service. Also shoot rock-concerts for metalkings.org - you can see my works in my ig: valianina_photography.

Except reading & different types of good music my true passion is theatre. Opera, operettas, musicals - 😍. Not huge fan of ballet, but can make an exception for really good plays.

Fell in love with solo travelling a year ago 😉 In general I prefere to stay in hotels, but always happy to find good company to explore cities with a help of CS.

My friends will say that I'm polite, funny, smart and creative. Respect other people' personal space, habits and views, also would like them to respect mine. Can be reserved with "not my people" and get lost easily facing rudeness. In most part of situations I'd better shut up and let go rather than hurt another person.

Let's share our travelling and culture experience 😉

But please, don't mix up CS with Tinder. Having cool photos doesn't mean seeking for ons. I don't answer messages starting with "your eyes are so charming..." - no offence. Time is a real treasure, so don't waste mine.

Unfortunately I can't host you in Moscow but can show you around in the city or give some tips)

Thanks for attentive reading😉
