Privet! (Hi!)

Russian-born, I don’t drink vodka, but I do have a bear at home. Three, actually.

Apart from my passion for words and insights, I love pets, hot yoga, cooking (and eating!), and traveling. I even took a plane piloting course to save on ticket costs! Too bad I forgot that I also need to own a plane for that.

As an Aquarius, I get very competitive and driven when it comes to contests, although I am not as intense as Monica from "Friends" (or am I?).

Whether you want to grab a hot dog together, spend a morning in a downward dog, or produce great work while talking all things dogs, hit me up! I’ll bring positive energy, diverse thinking, and some European snacks to the table.
