The life I've lived so far has been crazy, sometimes dangerous and tough, but always the opposite of boring.
HERE IS A FORMAL CV OF SORTS:
Classically trained piano player who performed own compositions at the Moscow Conservatory at the age of thirteen
While traveling in China, was lucky to get away from a violent criminal who wanted to sell her to a Chinese brothel [it WAS scary btw - the dude was beating me up in front of the whole village - men, women and children]
Spent a month in jail as an alleged Russian spy, charges were dropped later [no sorry, dammit]
Managed a restaurant in Lhasa, Tibet
Founded Russian Rock Chicago, an organization promoting Russian musical culture in the US and especially in the Midwest (while living in Chicago)
