Optimist, traveler, hand made artist, good listener, eternal student of life

I'm mostly "go with the flow" type of traveler. Love to discover cool places that are not in tourist's guide books.
But ,of course, if I new to the city/country/planet (who knows;) I'd like to see popular places as well to getting a vibe and make my own impression, plus it's always kind of challenge for me to find new details no one notice/mention before.

I'm an artist. The person who had turned hobby into job. I work mostly in macrame technique (you can see some of my works in photos). I really love what I do and put part of my souls in each piece. I take a lot of my inspiration from beautiful sunsets, sounds of waves, reading good books, watching movies, beautiful archictecture, working out at gym/running, captivating stories, smiles from people and giggles with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not a humble question, but

1) After all the job that public school (if you're Russian you most likely understand) done to NOT teach me English, I learn it myself. Now I watch, read, write and speak freely in it

2) I got my journalist's degree and diploma. It was pretty hard 6 years. But I did good and proud of myself

3)I have succesful worldwide hand made shop. I've sent about 500 parcels to 29 countries. I love to think that with each of my pieces I send a little of myself. So in the sense my trip's geography is way-way wider :)))

4) I agreed to this crazy experiment to run at 6 am 10 km in the forrest (I was more short distance than marathon person) with my aerobic teacher and her dog. So 2 minutes in and it started heavily raining all the way through. And you know what, I ran these 10 km without any complain and I never stop. And after that I had been running for 5 years more in this same forest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to make a best plum pie ever and in case I have my cords with me you'll get a beautiful macrame bracelet (or may be pendant) from me.
And of course, share my travel and life stories
