About Me

CURRENT MISSION

apple-Pie creator)

ABOUT ME

a bit shy, a bit restless, a bit day-dreamer, a bit pastry-creator;) just as you wish. But - HUMAN.

***********************************************
I wish I might visit all Latin America..Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Chile, Peru, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bolivia...ever since I've read books by Gerald Durell. These are countries of my beloved Spanish, and the continent of endless surprises.. Also I wish to open my cafe somewhere there and host it as if it was a European 1-class coffee bar)

If you wish to visit my native european country - Belarus - welcome) though it's tiny and not so famous in the world, it's really amazing with its nature, and hospitable people, and peculiar places)

MUSIC: lots, but mostly: Ed Sheeran, Sigur Ros, Coldplay, all that strange indie-music, often without lyrics. Choir singing (cause I'm a former participant of several of them); recently got addicted to latina!!-salsa, bachata, cha-cha-cha, rumba))
