Overview
About Me
Hey! I’m Jane, originally from Belarus, but have been calling the sunny lands of Australia home for over a decade now.
I'm an easy-going and happy girl who loves travelling as much as you do :)
For me, travel isn't about ticking off countries on a list. It's about getting out there, exploring new places, meeting people and embracing different ways to navigate daily life.
While I don't mind solo travel, having someone to share the moments and experiences with just makes it all the more wonderful! :)
I live by the motto "Treat others the way you like to be treated" and I believe the world can be a better place if people follow this simple rule.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading, so it's hard to pick just a couple of favourite books. From the recent ones:
Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
Appelsinpiken by Jostein Gaarder
Erast Fandorin books by Boris Akunin
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- 6 months backpacking trip around the world
- Volunteering at the orphanage in Sikkim
- Travelling around Thailand and Cambodia on a motorbike
- Organising weekly social volleyball games in Perth with over 500 people participating throughout the years
Another amazing thing that happened in my life is my career shift :)
I’ve been working as a pharmacist for years and while I absolutely loved it, my heart always gravitated towards the intricacies of numbers - analytics, algorithms, data models (yes, all the boring stuff 😜). Eventually, I followed my passion and it led me to the world of data visualisation. The world that combines everything I love - mathematics, UI/UX, design, technology, problem solving, making sense of complex things and helping others. Something that once began as a weekend hobby evolved into my everyday paid job. What more could I ask for?! :)
