Greetings, Travelers!
I’m happy to welcome you to my little corner of the internet.
I write random essays, obsess over D&D, and strive to build a magical life experience on the cusp of the latest technology and my favorite fantasy universes.
If a mix of lifestyle, tech, and fantasy sounds right up your alley – please subscribe to my weekly newsletter! I share my latest content, along with interesting news from around the web, and sometimes digital freebies I come up with!
I offer Dungeon Master services and consultations – check out the details here!

Why Following Your Passion Doesn’t Work (And What To Do Instead)
I’ve seen a quote somewhere that says, “we don’t choose our gifts, they choose us”. It caught my eye because just a couple of years ago I would strongly disagree. I always believed that anyone could do anything, it’s just a matter of priorities and effort. But since then, my opinion has shifted. The Death […]

D&D Games and Where to Find Them
Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is an immensely popular tabletop role-playing game that has been around for decades. One of the best things about playing D&D is joining a campaign and embarking on epic adventures with your friends. However, finding a campaign to join can be a challenge, especially if you’re new to the game. In […]

What is D&D?
If you have been around the internet for long enough, especially in its geekier parts, you’ve probably heard of Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D. Maybe you’ve only seen TikToks making fun of different characters, or people making dice. Maybe it looked fun, and you want to join in. Or maybe you’re confused about what the […]

“Awake, But At What Cost” : My Relationship With Sleep
My all time favorite meme is that one cat that didn’t get enough sleep. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image I related to more. Sleep is like a cruel lover to me – I want it so much, but it plays games with me, sometimes evading me for days, sometimes appearing out of […]

The eyes are scared, but the hands are doing.
If you come from a Russian-speaking country, you’ve probably heard the proverb “Глаза боятся, а руки делают”, which literally means “the eyes are scared, but the hands are doing”. It is a proverb that discourages procrastination and gives incentive to start doing the work before you have everything planned out to the T. Yesterday was […]

My Personal Challenges for 2023
It’s that time of year again: the start of a new year, and with it, the opportunity to set some new year’s resolutions. I haven’t done resolutions for quite a few years now (which is surprising considering how planner addicted I am), but this year I’ve decided to come up with three challenges to push […]

What We Should Learn From Shein
Yet another fast fashion Shein-pocalypse has dawned on the world, when the documentary “Untold” premiered last month. In recent years, the company has found itself in the middle of several controversies including trademark disputes, tax evasion, human rights violations, and health and safety concerns. If you’d like to know more about these – refer to […]

From a Chronic Homebody to a Nomad at Heart
“We’re planning to move abroad”. “What?! Why? When?” – here we go again. Every time I tell a friend or an acquaintance that my boyfriend and I are planning to get an RV and travel coast to coast in the US and Canada for a year or two I get bombarded with a ton of […]

I’m 27 years old and still don’t know who I want to be.
“Who do you want to be?” has got to be the favorite question of every auntie out there. I remember being asked who do I want to be ever since I was four. In their defense – I had an answer set in stone: I want to be a programmer, just like my parents. Unlike […]
