CURRENT MISSION

To live life to its fullest and spread kindness.

ABOUT ME

I'm very easygoing with a big appetite for life and adventure, full of wanderlust.
Life is too short not to enjoy it. I love travelling and meeting people from all around the world. To me spontaneous travel decisions just following the road are always the ones that make the best adventures.

I'm a journalist, which to me seems like the best job in the world, because I love people and good stories.

I have a huge passion for music - country, Americana, bluegrass, folk and latin - and for live music and festivals. I also cohost my own podcast on country/ Americana/ folk music and its stories and history with my musical and journalistic partner in crime and best friend.

I live in central Copenhagen with my boyfriend through 22 years and our two year old son, Leonard (yes, he's named after Leonard Cohen).

My background is not Danish though. I grew up in Moscow, with a Georgian Mom and a Jewish Dad, and we moved to Denmark when I was nine years old.

PHILOSOPHY

Live a good story.

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you make them feel" - Maya Angelou.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I went to Bolivia, La Paz, with my friend and study mate to write our thesis about the cocaine industry in Bolivia and a very weird prison called San Pedro, which is like a small town where the inmates buy their own sells, where families move in with them, where they have restaurants, bars, kindergarderns and a church...

When my boyfriend and I went travelling through South America for six months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good at telling stories. True stories about places I've been to and people I've met. I'm also a very open person who's not afraid of sharing personal thoughts and experiences, and I'm a good listener too.
I'm mostly the last to leave a party, I can teach you to dance Lindy Hop or salsa, or to speak Russian. And I would love you to teach me anything you feel passionate about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, passion for music, laughs, dances, cultural insight, good times.
