Hello, my name is Zarina, and I study environmental science in Sapporo.

I like this city, as it is full of modern life, but surrounded by beautiful forests and mountains. I like everything about nature and culture — traditional japanese theater, hiking, spending time in the zoo with my friends’ kids and search for traces of past life on river stones. I am a «vintage shopaholic», so I know almost all major flea markets in the city — on one of them I bought my favorite japanese flute.
