About me
I'm a storyteller & world explorer striving for a more sustainable and equitable world.
Spotted by Locals is the travel community I’d long wanted to join – it’s a great chance to contribute to the slow travel movement and to get inspired by like-minded conscious travelers from around the world.
Minsk is one of those cities you can keep exploring forever: new cafes and bars popping up here and there, indoor and outdoor festivals and other activities organised by local enthusiasts all year round. Having lived here for half my life, I’m always happy to share ideas on my favourite spots and events with guests and travelers. Being a spotter is a very special experience making possible to connect with people you will never meet.

MON NOM
Coffee, melusines and more
MON NOM in Minsk is too cool to miss. Feels like an antique shop, inspiring from the start. Opens at 10 am, perfect for a day exploring Traktarahorad!
