About Me

CURRENT MISSION

being aware of being aware of being

ABOUT ME

I'm a good girl with sad eyes and a good sense of humor slightly depending on the language that i speak. I love cinema and literature, used to study screenwriting that i practice from time to time. But if you ask me what I'm doing, I'll say that I live in Moscow and work in a Scientific Museum organizing different kind of events for the general public, I also take part in running a secret supper club where different people are meeting. I read a lot. I watch movies a lot. I speak a good french. I am curious about many things - a bit too many even, but it makes me to be open to new people and new places.
I've been kind of living between two cities, because my family is in Saint-Petersburg and I am living in Moscow, so you can catch me in two capitals of Russia.

PHILOSOPHY

'il faut voyager loin en aimant sa maison' (Gustave Flaubert)
