Hello and welcome to my page~ My name is Larisa--a very common Slavic name that was either derived from the Latin word hilaris, meaning "cheerful," or from the Greek city of Larissa, meaning "strong fortress." Born in Ukraine, I emigrated with my family to America when I was still a small child and now make my home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Growing up immersed in two vastly differing cultures led me to have a burning curiosity about people all over the world. Stemming from said curiosity, I have fallen in love with traveling to other countries, meeting new people and delving into their culture, exploring new cities, and of course, dining on the local cuisine! If I cannot escape into a different country, then my next favorite method of adventure is to lose myself in a spectacular book. I enjoy books of all genres--from fiction and novels, to biographies and ethnographies. As long as it captures my fancy and holds me spellbound the entire time, I will burn through the book like a forest fire! Because of this penchant for reading and travel, coupled with my love of deep and mysterious things, I have been often called a dreamer and I find the title suits me. With that being said, I invite you to stay a while, perhaps make yourself a cup of tea and linger through my posts and feel free to comment or share a thought :-) View all posts by ebonyandcrows

I am extremmmeely jealous!! I have snowboarded for 2 perfect days and they were the best!
Also this looks exactly like the Austrian Alps where I once skied (I know it’s not). So yeah, the setting + the snowboard is perfection lol.

You’re right, this is in the Pacific Northwest, a snowy wonderland of its own. Snowboarding is always a good idea ☺️

I need even a last snowboarding for the season, lol. I typically only end up with one in a year

For me it’s the hard learning curve that makes me want to take long breaks in between trips—I actually haven’t snowboarded before this in several years, so a lot of the trip was mastering beginner stuff again. But it was amazing, nevertheless!

Yes, the one in the white snowsuit is yours truly. I’m still a beginner but I can stay up long enough to enjoy it 😊
