- преподаю английский по моей методике "English Via Storytelling" - еженедельно встречаюсь с друзьями и коллегами, преподавателями и писателями из L.A., London, Glasgow, Joshua Tree, New York, Birmingham - принимаю участие в литературных чтениях в Лос-Анджелесе (Beyond Baroque) - осваиваю волшебный мир музыки (сочиняю и исполняю песни на акустике) и путешествую по страницам книги - "Необыкновенные приключения Флоренс" (пишу её на английском)

I have a passion for writing, music, English teaching & walking. I am also a bit retro - I don't use mobile phone with internet for instance; I write my book with a pencil and a piece of paper or with a vintage typewriter, and I love every second of it; I don't use public transport as well (whenever possible) or a car, I walk instead.
