    i am from U-Z-B-E-K-I-S-T-A-N

    Over the years of living and travelling around the world I met a lot of different people from all over the globe and every time I would introduce myself as someone from Uzbekistan, I’d hear the funniest reactions — almost everyone from almost everywhere didn’t know where — or what — Uzbekistan was — what was this long cumbersome word that few people could pronounce… Many times I had to swear it is indeed a real country ;) And many times people would actually be interested to

    PORKIBOU

    Probably every couple has those weird pet names they give each other. Well, nice to meet you, we are Porky and Caribou. We won’t go in details here how we ended up being these two creatures, but need to mention that we both are from different universes. It’s sort of metaphorical in a way — maybe it’s wrong for Caribous to fall in love with Porkies, but… that’s what they do sometimes! We would love to share our love story with you, as a little example that love knows no border

    I have drawn my family portrait since I was three and here what it looks like!

    My family in 1990: The three years old me draws my mama and papa: what my family was like before my arrival: My family in 1992: I am five years old, here is my mama, papa and I: My family in 1997: I am ten years old, and we have a new addition to our family: My family in 2001: I am 14 and my little sister is exactly half of my age and size: My family in 2014: Yes, the baldy in the middle is me: I am twenty seven and I am going through an existential crisis: My family in 2018:

    Babul - My Little Grandma

    I wanted to share with the world how incredibly lovely and cool my Babool (“grandma” in sort of Russian) is. My Babool has got a big great heart and a beautiful soul. Her life hasn’t been easy — she was born on the shores of the Black Sea, but when she was just about 6 months old her parents were killed in the World War II and she was sent to an orphanage in Central Asia where she grew up with her older two sisters. She lived her life with much integrity and has kept her good

    Confessions of a Peter Pan Syndrome Sufferer

    So many people around me are trying to awaken their “inner child”, while my problem is that my “inner adult” was never even born… When I was little, I always thought that “30” is a magical age when one becomes a “grown up”. I have patiently waited through all the 365 days of my 30, but then I just turned 31, and … I haven’t grown up yet! WITH FAMILY: They once had high expectations towards my glorious adulthood, but now are just trying to understand when did they forget to in
