My Story

I was born in Odessa, Black Sea region. Sea always played an important role in my life.

I lived in Moscow and St Petersburg, travelled extensively through my work and leisure. I love meeting new people and share experiences. I love food prepared with passion from the best of quality ingredients and served beautifully. I love dancing and yoga, live music, and theatre, lots of books.

You shall see a lot of all this through my content on this site. I would like to invite you to walk in my shoes and see the world through my eyes.
Let’s start our walk together.

With love,
Yana De Lilac

Depeche Mode

I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I’ve been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I’m not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
