About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share the smile and positivism with the world

ABOUT ME

I was born in the coldest region in the world, the biggest administrative unit in Russia and in the world, in one of the less populated regions in the world, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) located in Siberia. Maybe that's why I love to travel (especially to warm countries) and to meet new people!
I am fond of learning new languages, cultures and tasting new food.

PHILOSOPHY

I studied International Relations in Moscow and then had an exchange year in Paris. After school I started to work in banking industry, but I decided to change all my life as I didn't enjoy working there. So I became a member of Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee and it was my best experience whatsoever,.
