Moscow

TV Short Movies Production, Journalism, Creative Writing. Once known as Elena Novikova, or Lena Mescherskaya, she made her mark as a journalist in a top Russian newspaper in the mid-2000s. With degrees in both technical and philological fields, she wrote on a variety of topics, earning praise for her literary flair, emotional depth, and unique blend of irony and grotesque allegory. Her column, The Track, a famous paper column, was especially notable, offering glimpses into her extraordinary life through its double meanings.

Now from the first face:

The following chain of events was never planned but happened because of the GEO-BS ripple effect.

South Africa

Because of my early age inspiration from the The Gods Must Be Crazy movie, in 2008, I flew to South Africa to run the Kalahari Desert Race and learned to run chasing other racers. This escapade led to a contract with the University of South Africa, where I trained with a top coach and won a Silver medal at the World Masters Athletics Championship in the USA in 2011. Dummit! If I had known, I would have stayed with my coach’s plan, and might have taken a Gold. But victories in the Alliance de France and British Consulate International Photo Contests, followed by a solo photo exhibition, Iron Africa, didn’t leave space for these thoughts. On a road trip around Cape Town, my camera with mindblowing footage of abandoned ships was stolen, together with everything else in my car, and I left for the longest hiking trail for a walk about.

Four Years On Foot. Wherever Eyes Lead

Because of this running chapter, I checked my limits and went unlimited. I thru-hiked the 2081-mile Appalachian Trail, cycled Historic Route 66 from Chicago to LA, pedaled from the Canadian border to Key West, biked from London to Orkney Island, traveled by boat and through the jungle on the Amazon River, climbed Machu Picchu, and drove from the Atacama Desert to Salar de Uyuni and Lake Titicaca.

Midcost Maine Art.

Because my car was towed away by mistake at the very beginning of my 2018 road trip, I changed my mind, stayed in Midcoast Maine for two years, collaborated with local artists on my art installation White PT Cruzer, which was frozen during the COVID lockdown.

Two Years of Skiing Lake Tahoe.

Because of the lockdown, I restored my road trip plan. At the gas station, on my way out of Rockport, I saw the car with an Aspen sticker and decided to go there. Until the track Chevy Tahoe arrived. And another one right after. A decision was made – I headed to Palisades Tahoe, passed PSIA exams, and for the next two seasons became a ski instructor with swim instructing in between.

Silicon Valley.

Horrible accident, deadly for my car and lacky for me, was a trigger for me to move to Silicon Valley to finally apply my engineering skills. Or media. With the W3 arrived, it can be both at once. Oh, and I should fix a mess on my account here, because my books, my bestselling hard copies, were published in the country whose language is not supported even for writing a bio here. Not even speaking about my changed name.

My books were uploaded to Amazon by the publishing house under their account. Who cares that it was one of the biggest in Russia? I must start over in English.
