CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World and Film

ABOUT ME

Russian born and raised, I have lived in Canada for many years but still consider myself very Eastern European. I enjoy traveling, but most importantly having new experiences, savoring moments, meeting people and hearing new stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Will and faith is stronger than circumstances.

Sometimes it helps to think of your life from an old person's perspective. Makes many things may seem irrelevant but it would also push you to do what is relevant.
