IMG_20190731_161058The beauty of freelance is that you can always find some time for your nearest and dearest even in the middle of the week. For example, you can go to the country retreat for your sister’s birthday and even make a cake for her.

And there surely should come some BUT… Funny but the minus of freelance is absolutely the same! My parents think that we should take off running to help them plant potatoes at any day of the week. Or even better: “Please come and live here with us for several days! You surely can work anywhere you like!». Well… You look at them and don’t even know what to say, so that not to offend.

Uncategorized, , ,

From time to time I do volunteering voice-over projects for non-profit organizations, such as TheBrigthsRussia. This is a group of enthusiasts trying to popularize sound view on many sides of our life and science as such.

The video below is one of my recent works. It is extremely topical in modern geopolitical circumstances. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.
