CURRENT MISSION

Be kind and live simply

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Ana. I was born in Moscow, Russia to a Ukrainian father and a Russian mother. My family moved to upstate NY when I was 5 and that is where I grew up. I was fortunate enough to live between two beautiful mountain ranges in NY which made me appreciate the simplicity of the elegance and beauty of the natural world around me. I started traveling because I got bored of simply existing. Traveling now is as essential to my life as breathing. It keeps me sane!

PHILOSOPHY

There is no passion to be found in playing small- in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. - Nelson Mandela (and me)

Centres d'intérêt

It would be easier to write what I don't like but if I can sum up what I am interested in, it would be- to feel alive and be in the moment as much as possible.. Time flies by and I don't want to waste a min of it!

• traveling
• cycling
• hiking

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Love them all-everyone of them makes me laugh, cry, think. They are my constant companions through life. But this gal def loves her blues. They warm the heart.. As does Celine Dion- judge away world!!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Shut my brain off enough to get my ass out the door!!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Constantly learning and eager to pass on everything I learn to others... I would like to teach myself how to make my own up-cycled tiny house and learn to stick to a running schedule so that I can complete my first full marathon. Maybe this will be the year to check some of those things off my list.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can offer you the comforts of a blowup mattress and some interesting company with whom to go on an adventure.
