What’s something in your hometown you think every visitor should do or see?
Kiev-Pechersk Lavra – absolute must-see! Very beautiful church.
What do you see yourself doing after your modelling career?
I don’t have any plans for future: who I want to be, where I want to live, where I want to work. But for now I see myself in fashion industry, cuz it so close to me and it gives me pleasure and happiness.
What is a band/movie/artist/cool thing you recommend?
I can recommend really good series calls “Orphan Black”. The plot and the ending of the series are very interesting. Everyone who likes adventure have to see it.
What were you doing before modelling and do you miss it?
For 10 years I was a dancer, it was my everything. I couldn’t imagine myself without it. I miss it so much, unfortunately now I don’t have time to mix modelling, studying and dancing.
If you never needed to work again, what would you spend your time doing?
Traveling.
