в марте этого года я приняла участие в экспедиции #silatrekelbrus от silamedia в качестве иллюстратора. мы отправились из москвы в приэльбрусье через нальчик. целью экспедиции был поселок нейтрино и его обитатели, живущие в двух девятиэтажках среди гор / this march i joined the #silamedia's expedition to elbrus as illustrator. we went from moscow to elbrus by nalchik. our goal was to reach a small village called neutrino, which inhabitants live in two 9-floor houses between the mountains.

in aeroexpress train, where we were told to change our eating habits during elbrus trip.
