About Me

Raised in a small town, I always felt a deep connection with nature. As a little girl I liked camping with my family and scouting. Later i found myself as nature and mountain lover and adventurer dreaming about traveling around the world. Overall outdoor enthusiast.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies..i love dramas - Into the wild, Vanilla sky, The Pianist, August Rush, The Fountain,Limitless,Taking Woodstock.

My music taste is pretty hard and progressive

I admit i`m totally addicted to reading books. "Endurance" - saga of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's survival for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas impressed me so much. When i feel terrible or miserable i imagine several episodes from this book where was much worse conditions, for example sleeping outside in canvas tent when you have only wet sleeping bag.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ascended mount Elbrus from north route in worse conditions when the wind gone wild and ice crystals hit my face.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every year during summer solstice I gathered and dried these plants for herbal tea and bath. I can give some knowledge about the benefits of plants.
