My name is Nova, I’m 20 years old, and I grew up in a small, cozy town in belarus. Life here is pretty quiet — little streets, old houses, lots of nature, and those familiar places where you always seem to run into someone you know. Sometimes it feels like time moves a little slower here. I grew up in an ordinary family, and ever since I was a small, I’ve been quite calm and a little shy. I’ve always enjoyed spending time on my own — listening to music, reading books, watching movies, or simply going for walks with my headphones on and getting lost in my thoughts.

I’m only 20, so I still don’t know exactly what my life will look like in a few years. But I actually love that feeling. It feels like there’s a huge world waiting for me, full of places to discover, people to meet, and memories to make. My biggest dream is to become independent, travel the world, meet interesting people, and someday find a place where I can look around and think, “Yes, this is where I want to stay.” For now, though, my story is only just beginning. 🤍

At the same time, I’ve always been very curious about the world. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and discovering how differently everyone sees life. Maybe that’s why I dream so much about traveling. I want to see big cities, explore Asia — especially Tokyo — experience different cultures, and one day find myself somewhere completely different from the little town where I grew up. In my free time, I love reading, taking photos of beautiful little moments, taking care of myself, and sometimes baking something sweet. Music is also a big part of my life. My playlist can go from soft, peaceful songs late at night to music that makes me want to dance around my room when nobody is watching. When you first meet me, I might seem a little quiet. I need some time to feel comfortable around someone. But once I do, you’ll discover a completely different side of me — cheerful, talkative, playful, and sometimes I really love to tease. 😇
