ABOUT ME

I`m an easy target for adventures wherever I go. The ends are happy (usually). Of course I like travelling (in space and time), learning (new and forgotten), meeting (human and non-human beings), flying (by planes and in my dreams)...
I like to leave my home and to come back to my penates.
Important detail for my guests: I have a dog. Big one. It doesn`t eat guests and their shoes. It loves people as much as I do.
P.S. My second name Rayskaya in russian means I`m a girl from paradise. I wish I was!))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was forgotten in the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. I was on excursion. Suddenly the lights went down, there was a problem with the electricity. I lagged behind my group and stayed completely alone deep inside the dark pyramid. It took me all my forces and nerves to get outside. That time I felt by my skin the thousand-year age of the pyramid and its magic. After coming back home I was strongly ill. Then I was told the pyramid revenged on me for intrusion. Who knows!))
