Spotter since 2017
About me
I'm a Moscow-raised and Moscow-based PR specialist. During day-time I'm a white-collar worker managing digital projects for a huge industrial company, but when the work is done, I explore life just how it is. Travelling, art, photography and music are just a few of the things that I love.
"Why I love my city
Moscow never stops changing. When I joined the Spotters community for the first time when Sanne and Bart had just launched the Moscow blog, the city was sooo different. I have my whole life here and I love watching it change. Sometimes it's for the better and sometimes not, but the city lives on and I'm proud to say that I live here. I'm also proud to have an opportunity to show you Moscow's history, its hidden spots and lovely places to see beyond touristy landmarks.
