ABOUT ME

I am a native russian who came from Siberia to the U.S six years to learn English. However I have decided to experience more of the U.S and eventually I stayed here. I lived in Austin, TX for five years and recently relocated to Chicago to enjoy cold weather and explore other possibilities.

I can't live without traveling and love meeting interesting people. Also I am very a nice and kind person. Although I pursue a career in finance, I am an amateur painter, decorator, and a creative being.

I take a great delight in cooking and appreciate thankful eaters.

I read quite a bit and like talking about books.
In all settings, I am very open minded and a great listener.
However I could be crazy sometimes, but not in a bad way!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all in the same boat.
