About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fun is my middle name, I love people, travel, world cultures, music and arts.

ABOUT ME
Now, I've packed up all my belongings, rented out my place and on the road of adventure.

I've been visiting Caucasus, Central Asia 🌏, West Africa and Eourope.

My hobby is Ethnomusicology. I travel with a Lyre (small harp), meeting traditional dancers and musicians, enjoy collaborations and already been lucky to have few amazing performing opportunities.
