Warming Up

What’s nice to do in Russia, where you’re from?
Play with snow! In winter, they build ice castles, and you get to go down big ice slides. I used to do that a lot.

I lived in Australia for 15 years.
That’s why I sound like this! (laughs) I’ve been here for three months, and I’m still acclimatising, but I like it here. I just miss the beaches in Australia a lot.

Best decision I’ve ever made:
Buying this bike, just the day before! I bought it because I didn’t want to sign up for a gym membership, so cycling is a form of exercise and it’s also fun. I rode all around East Coast Park yesterday, and I didn’t even know that part of Singapore existed. I think it’s a really good place to cycle at.

Craziest hairstyle I’ve ever had:
I’m a hairdresser so I’ve had many crazy hairstyles in the past, but the craziest was probably a black mullet with blue stripes. Hot!

Scariest thing I’ve ever done:
Travelling on my own from Colombia to Panama by land and tiny boats. I was the only girl and the only blonde on a 4-day trip.

Something interesting about me:
I’m studying natural medicine, along with doing hairdressing. I started studying naturopathy initially to better my health, but I discovered a big passion to help others in the future as well. I’m looking forward to going into natural fertility and helping all the future mummies.
