CURRENT MISSION

To promote peer-to-peer support, learning and sharing love.

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in St-Petersburg, at that time - Leningrad. The first time when I left it on my own was 23. Since then the my passion for travel and appreciating new experiences has started.
When I was 9 I participated in the cultural exchange programme called "Peace Child". This was an experience when American and Russian teenagers got together for one month to make a performance about Peace and Love and show it to their peers. This was a life changing experience for me and everyone at that summer program.
Till now I see myseld as a little girl singing Peace Child song and dancing with other kids to help our world unite.

PHILOSOPHY

we live to learn and to find way to connect back. In the end, everything is one.
