Olea Saiceva

I am born in Siberia, near the Altay Mountains and I enjoyed a peaceful rural life and an artistic education during my childhood, before my mother decided to move to Germany. I spent my life between the age of 9 and 19 in a western German catholic small town until I finished my A-levels and went to work for two years as an Au Pair in Washington D.C. I returned after my visa expired and moved to Berlin, started studying journalism, but at the same time diving into the boheme of Berlin. I dedicated seven years in Berlin to writing, art, music and traveling.Then I met the Albanian father of my son and sadly our relationship didn't work out, thus I am living as a single mother for the last 7 years and now settling in Albania, as it seems that the landscape, culture and climate is just what my son and I need.
