For many years I have visited more than 70 countries, and I have seen many wonders. I saw the sunrise in the African savannah and sunsets on the Caribbean coast. I ran away from wild elephants in Sri Lanka, caught ghosts in old castles in Scotland, walked around dressed like a princess at the carnival in Basel.
I teased white sharks in South Africa, flied “Tarzan” in the jungles of Costa Rica, watched penguins in the Antarctic, dandled a baby from the Himba tribe in my arms and I even became a personal assistant to Santa and received a diploma within the Polar Circle.
Vianne Rocher, the heroine of the novel “Chocolat” by Joanne Harris, always flew away with the wind of change. Apparently, the same wind, for many years picks me up and carries me in the search the adventures, elations, new meetings. Continents and countries, cities and time zones change each other.
People, hotels, money also change.
Not to put too fine a point on it, I get changed after each little life lived outside Moscow too. Only one thing remains unchanged – the belief that the world is enough!
