Marika (kislanyk)

I am lucky enough to live on a sunny Mediterranean island called Cyprus, where summer is the predominant season throughout the year.

A bit about me: My name is Marika and I'm a bookaholic. This being my main hobby, I also make handcrafted silver jewelry and play MMO games in my spare time, and write for various online places, including my own blog, for a living. Working from home on your own terms definitely beats a 9-5, don't you agree?
