Born and raised in Russia, moved to Georgia at 15, started my studies in Poland, continued in the UK. Basically, all over the place.
I'm a freelance journalist with a knack for smearing corporations and incompetent politicians. Meanwhile, I play violin.

Music, Movies, and Books

- Classical music (Rachmaninov, Chopin), but generally as long as the melody is decent I can listen to anything.
- Vintage French comedies, Italian cinema, Georgian classics.
- Georgian literature (Dumbadze, Vaja Pshavela), Russian literature (Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Ulitskaya).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent 14 hours in a bus to see the white cliffs of England for 2. I'm rather passionate about the sea - seeing it, not necessarily swimming in it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be more than happy to teach violin or piano if you have one available, although I'm mostly about discussions, trying to broaden my horizons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been living in a couple of unusual locations and I'd love to share my experiences so far. If you're interested in learning how to play violin or piano, I'm up for it.
