ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Russia, Bashkortostan, but about 8 years ago came to the USA, mainly to learn some English. No family here, but lots of great friends and still learning English:).

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life all you can!!!

Interests

Literature... this was my passion since I learned how to read. Getting degree in Comparative Literature right now and planning to get in graduate school.
Love Yoga, can't imagine myself without it right now.
Would love to travel more but don't have lots of opportunities to do so now.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books... too many I like. Lately the favorites were Gabriel Garcia Markes "100 Years of Solitude", "Bhagavad Gita", Karlos Kastaneda.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Among the most recent ones: simple but yet one great experience, 4 days of backpacking in Ventana Wilderness, Los Padres Forest (CA).
No people, no trails, perfect weather, mountains, wild nature...
It's nice to get away once in a while:)
