“Life can change in an instant” is not just a beautiful quote, it is my personal experience.

I currently live in Lithuania. While the Migration Department processes my visa and singer's license, my "stage podium" is I currently live in Lithuania. While the Migration Department processes my visa and singer's license, my "stage podium" is a sink full of dirty dishes. Yes, at 52, I work as a dishwasher, and I have a good reaa sink full of dirty dishes. Yes, at 52, I work as a dishwasher, and I have a good reason for it.

Why don't I spend my savings?

As a single expat woman, I consider my savings my main safety net . Living in Russia during the outbreak of the war with Ukraine taught me a lot. Even as the world around me was crumbling, I continued performing as a full-time singer, and my life remained stable. If the war didn't force me to dip into my "emergency fund," waiting for bureaucratic paperwork in Lithuania certainly won't .

I refuse, on principle, to squander my capital while I wait to perform again . My savings are my peace of mind and my freedom.

Follow my journey as a rebuild my fan base in eourope, while reaching my 100 countries goal.

My everyday life: A boss half my age

While I'm waiting for the paperwork, I'm going through "life school" in the kitchen. Meet my boss, @130.7ink . She's 22, I'm 52. She bosses me around and doesn't let me off the hook, but I accept the challenge with a smile (and sometimes a smirk).

This is my journey, my transformation, and my test of strength. Welcome to my reality in Lithuania!
