About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being happier

ABOUT ME

Honestly, I do not know myself too well, and that is why I like discovering myself through other people, new situations and unknown places. I am smiley and friendly and open, but at times can be shy, also I'm sincerely curious and attentive, and a good listener. I like to make people smile, and think as well :) I adore travelling and all things, connected with art and self-expression)

PHILOSOPHY

It's pretty difficult to sum it all up)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost all the things are amazing, if you think about them properly))

Teach, Learn, Share

My mother is a teacher, I'm an english teacher, so I guess teaching is in my blood) I like sharing information, that I find interesting, and helping people learn)
I like learning as well - new information, that can broaden my horizon, and I simply Love learning new skills, languages and anything, that can be put into practice)
About sharing - nowadays we are surrounded with vast amounts of information, thousands of books are published every year, thousands of films are made, and you can get completely lost in the field of music. Finding something worthy your attention can be like real treasure-hunting) So I feel it my duty to share what I have found with people, who may be interested, and I feel deep gratitude to all the people who did the same to me)
