I lived in the big city of Moscow, worked for a big newspaper <\/a>and was raising two\u00a0kids.\u00a0Everything is revealed between the lines of my newspaper stories\u00a0– a miraculous chain of causes and effects.<\/p>\n


In 2008 I landed to\u00a0the Kalahari desert of South Africa, which was sitting as a nail\u00a0in my head for a long-long time since I saw\u00a0the movie Gods must be crazy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0then\u00a0moved to South Africa in 2009. I was lecturing\u00a0at the UNISA (University of SA), had my own \u00a0personal photo exhibition<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0started running. Now I am\u00a0traveling<\/a> permanently, combining trail running with ultralight long distance hiking.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a feeling that I am in a film under somebody else’s direction about how I manage what is happening to me all the time. When I\u00a0realised I could never edit this movie\u00a0I simply enjoy starring in it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
