Nadya Bondoreff is a writer, English teacher, fledgling musician, failed rock star, and eternally-curious expat who likes to cause scandal by liberally criticizing her home country, Canada. "Nationalism is for the feeble-minded, and Canada is an overrated scam" is her latest sentiment, essentially torching all her remaining bridges back in the Great White North while starting endless conversations in her chosen home of Berlin, Germany. She has taught English in Costa Rica, Brazil, and South Korea, and still can't believe she hasn't been to Japan. When not admiring all the fine art Europe has to offer, Nadya is a writer and editor for a grassroots documentary site at www.altdoc.ca, as well as her very own website, a showcase for her multidisciplinary dabbling, at www.nadyabe.com. She has had pieces published in various online magazines, doesn't understand or write poetry, is on the first draft of her first nonfiction book, and has realized far too late that becoming independently wealthy in Berlin is virtually impossible.
