About Me

CURRENT MISSION

freedom

ABOUT ME

I am one of those who is in a constant search. I am searching for meaning of life, trying to find my way, and enjoying meeting those happy people which have already found all these things. And as these actions are abstract enough and have weak links with the reality, I simply smile and enjoy the great diversity of the world.

I live together with my 6-year old kid and an Indian husband. We are working partially from home, and several times a week I go out to the city or for work trips.

There is one shared room for guests with one bed and a foldable armchair. However, there is lots of space on the floor, so if you have a mat and a sleeping bag, we can host even a big company.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is your creature, you child and your reflexion, you should only don't forget to wipe the dust from your mirror from time to time and be lucky enough to catch the right vibration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking, hiking from Russia to Malaysia through all these wonderful countries for 7 months. when I started the temperature was about -30 celsium.

Teach, Learn, Share

Because of my natural curiosity I am ready to learn almost all things in this life, and most of all the life itself. But the things that I'm interested in most of all are: all kinds of handycrafts, painting, languages, how to live nature-friendly and sufficiently, traditions and cultural differences.
I can teach you russian language and culture, can share wonderful stories about my journeys.
But I think that opend heart is the best thing to share.
