Nothing fazes this girl. She’ll jump out of a plane without a second thought. She’d think nothing of trekking through the Amazon. And when she sees a mountain, she only wants to see the view from the top.

Meet Ayya, a 27-year-old Russian with an adventurous streak. With an intense beauty, her eyes look straight into your soul and say, “Want to go for a ride?”

She worked in the fashion industry, but couldn’t control her urge to travel. So for the last few years she has been 100% free spirit, a true nomad exploring the world with only destiny as a guide.

Ayya doesn’t do chilled out holidays. Whether it’s paddling down river rapids, climbing mountains, or trekking in remote locations, she prefers the thrill of extreme sports. Put simply, she wants to feel alive.

But she has her sensitive side, too. With healing hands, she believes that she can help relieve mental and physical pain through the power of touch.

So what’s her message to the world? Don’t let your fears stand in the way of your dreams.
