More about me
I learned to read at the age of five and quickly fell in love with fairy tales.
For 11 years, I studied the cello at the same school Oistrakh graduated from in Ukraine.
My favorite subject in school was history, my true passion. I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, but I graduated from the acting faculty and worked as an actress in the theater.
In 2008, I moved to Venice and gained experience in travel companies hosting tourists throughout Italy, France, and Switzerland. So, even before I moved to Lucerne, I knew Switzerland very well!
In 2015, I received my guide license in Venice.
In 2020, I moved to Switzerland, which is now my home. Here, I have my family and continue to work as a guide.
I promise not to overwhelm you with too many dates and names.
See you soon!
