ABOUT ME

upd. Below is some a bit outdated info about me, but true back then in 2017-2018.

Hi there! My name is Yulia or Yulya or Julia:). I am a former content manager in a telecom company in Russia. Recently I decided to turn my life upside down and quitted my 8-years-lasting job. And here I am - traveling for inspiration, searching for another way of life and some positive vibes:)
What about my personality? Well I am an easy-going, open-minded, kind and laid back person with more or less weirdness.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. Alternative rock/pop (Placebo, Rammstein, Garbage, etc.), electronic (Royksopp, M83, Gusgus, etc.), trance (Astrix), indie-rock/pop.

Movies... mostly arthouse films but I like watching good hollywood movies as well. The last one that impressed me so much was Lars Von Trier's 'Antichrist' - beautiful and ugly at the same time. Also I adore TV shows - my number one for now is Wachowski's Sense8.

Books are the best method of escaping reality:) I used to be a book worm in my school times. Now there is no much time for reading, only for professional stuff... but of course it's a question of priorities:)
