To connect with open-hearted people, share stories, and experience places through real human moments — not just maps and monuments. I believe some of the best journeys begin with trust and a cup of tea.

Music: I love music that touches the heart — from soulful ballads to meaningful indie tunes. Whitney Houston and Norah Jones inspire me. Movies: Some favourites are Into the Wild, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Rear Window, and the timeless classic It's a Wonderful Life (1946), directed by Frank Capra and starring James Stewart and Donna Reed. I love movies that make me feel — and yes, I often cry watching them (in a good way). Books: I love stories of resilience and self-discovery — Robinson Crusoe has been one of my favourite books since childhood. Its themes of solitude, survival, and the human will to adapt deeply resonate with me. Other favourites include The Little Prince, the works of Irvin Yalom, and Ukrainian authors like Taras Prokhasko. I am always happy to exchange book recommendations.
