MY NAME IS KATERINA GRUSHEVA, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN KIEV, UKRAINE. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been mesmerized by the Land of the Rising Sun. I remember my early days glued to the TV watching JAPANESE CARTOONS, getting lost in the world of FANTASY girls and Tokyo streets. A simple anime was not just an entertainment source for me, but an invitation to a culture I felt inexplicably connected to.

At age 13 I got a chance to see Japan up close and it was nothing short of magical. The whirlwind of colors, the fusion of tradition and technology, the flavors - everything was a dream I never wanted to wake up from. Some years later, with sheer determination and a bachelor’s degree in JAPANOLOGY (ORIENTAL STUDIES) AND JLPT N2, my dream became a reality. Tokyo wasn't just a vacation spot; it was home. 

Along with my love for Japan, I have always been a passionate admirer of art in all its forms. I can't imagine myself without a creative outlet for my inner thoughts and feelings, whether it be music, photography, painting, dancing, or performing. I believe that the life of each individual is a masterpiece in itself.

The thrill of exploring new places and meeting different people IS ANOTHER source of joy and inspiration FOR ME. Japan is a land of contrasts and wonders, offering everything a traveler could wish for. From the pulsating neon streets of its futuristic megacities to the serene, moss-covered islands where time seems to stand still, Japan promises an adventure that will touch your heart and leave you with memories to cherish forever.

I believe that every soul on Earth destined to experience and explore in ways that are deeply personal and singular. My goal is to design a plan that doesn’t just take you to places but reaches into the depths of your being, creating experiences that are profoundly touching and intensely personal.
