Writing for me is almost like breathing.

I’ve traveled half of the world chasing the stories that inspire.

I write about work and family balance, cultural and social trends, luxury travel, and relationships in the digital age, among other topics.

Originally from Moscow, I’ve also lived in New York, Washington D.C., Northern California, Italy and

various regions of Spain.

For the last seven years I’ve been splitting my time between Moscow and Hamburg working freelance, writing books and raising my two boys.

I’ve graduated with honours from the Journalism Faculty of the Moscow State University and then got my Master’s degree at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York.

I’ve worked for nearly 15 years for the Russian edition of Marie Claire magazine as a Deputy Chief Editor.

My stories have also appeared in Marie Claire magazine/USA, Vogue/Russia, Architectural Digest/Russia, Forbes Woman, Conde Nast Traveler/Russia, Woman.ru, Medialoft.eu and other media outlets, both print and online.

A couple years ago, my first book, “Love and Broccoli”, came out in one of Russia's top publishing houses, Alpina Publisher. It focuses on the challenges of modern parenting and food cultures in different European countries.

In 2023, my new book is coming out. This time it's about the new and emerging family and relationship formats in Europe and America.

I speak five foreign languages (English - highly proficient, Italian - fluent, French, Spanish, German).
