About Karin:
Roughly two decades ago, I was born in a country that does not exist anymore; namely, the Soviet Union. At the tender age of 1, my journeys through world’s continents began. I lived all over the Czech Republic and the farthest places in Russia (Magadan, Vladivostok), Vancouver and now I am in Toronto. As a teenager I loved to read classical literature, write, photograph and daydream about the adult life that lay ahead. Thanks to my parents, I have traveled a fair bit, and as a result, I have developed strong global perspectives.
My life is full of creativity, positive and exciting people, bright colors and constant pursuit. Recently I have developed interests in strategic planning, advertising, and ethical business practices (particularly finance). I am also passionate about the visual arts (both admiring and working or collaborating on), physical activities such as squash and rocking out on a dance floor, fine dining, healthy lifestyle, traveling, and grasping new things.
By now, I’ve learned not to take myself too seriously and not to stress over nonexistent and sometimes existent ‘troubles’. My attitude is best described by the words of Ernest Becker: “To live is to play at the meaning of life… The upshot of this… is that it teaches us once and for all that childlike foolishness is the calling of mature men.”

Highlights of 2008
I'm glad the year of the Mouse/Rat is over. It was a tough year, but
also a very rewarding one, filled with events, color and life. It was
definitely a great one for meeting new people and leaving the dead end
contacts behind. It was a year of travels, learning, emotional change
of scenery, breaking the habits, and finding peace. In short: Vice internship, movies with Slava, Barbi, high tea, cuckoo New York
trip, mad revelations and heartbreaks, the legendary night of the
Justice show at the Great Hall, indoor pool voleyball in Richmond Hill
with a blizzard outside, Montreal for the first time ever, straight to
Vancouver, the return of Dimitri, straight A's that semester, "I love
nature" cottage visit, summer internship, more Montreal, Lemeac, Rajni,
Ottawa, Rafael Nadal, gourmet adventures with Roberto, Magdalena's
return, dancing late and coming to work early, Osho, red eye to Europe,
constantly ringing cell in Berlin, Baltic Sea, goth party in the
bunker, wasp attack, Kunstwerke, Michael and Karin's epic search for a
gallery, scootering in Ibiza, flying, getting lost in the hills with
fuel running out, Gaudi, Joan Miro, Catalan people, Faulkner's Light in
