Hi! I'm Yanya!
I love drawing - with pencil, watercolor and oil paint.
I love nature. And whales! Whales - whales - whales!..
I love travelling. So far, it has been mostly Europe, but this summer I visited the US, and just fell in love with Chicago.
I love reading - many different books. Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams, Ray Bradbury, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien...
I love larping (live action role playing) - it's a wonderful way of exploring the world we live in. Feel free to ask me about it.
I love ultimate frisbee (currently not playing due yo a trauma).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Re-applied for an American visa only 5 days after being rejected it. Had no hope for success whatsoever. But. Somehow. No idea why or how. I got it. And my American adventures where just magical. Magical.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you a couple of (un)useful Belarusian or Russian phrases. If you want to, you can teach me a bit of your language in return :)
I can tell you stories about my not very numerous adventures, and listen to yours.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love drawing. So, I can draw something for you, like, a portrait - a 5-10 minute sketch - with a pen or a pencil. But I'm not a profesional artist, so don't expect too much. You may see some of my drawings in my profile photos (or on instagram: yanya.zzz).
I can bring you something from Belarus - like local sweets, or some other unusual foodstuffs (if the customs will let it through)).
I can send you a postcard upon my return home :)
