I grew up in Minsk, Belarus. Hence, I can tell you something about local people, post-Soviet vestiges, and great things that appeared despite them. I am passionate about music. This passion helped me to gain skills in piano playing to perform Chopin, Rachmaninov, or List in the way I feel. Also, music inspiration prompted me to step on the threshold of Minsk Lindy Hop School. This smart swing dance with no determined movements and enjoying music and magic you create with your partner. The second passion is the sport, and from my childhood, Taekwondo has become vital for me. This martial art taught me to struggle with life obstacles and still helps me to lead the future with confidence. (And dozens of Korean words :) I enjoy noticing small details, good music, listening to people’s stories, reading books, skiing, playing table tennis, sleeping, and dreaming. Currently, I’m learning the German language and culture, dealing with playing guitar after my hands got used to piano keys, writing Diploma work, and traveling.
