Who is Karin Abramova?
Roughly two decades ago, I was born in a country that does not exist anymore; namely, the Soviet Union. At the tender age of 1, my journeys through world’s continents began. I lived all over the Czech Republic and the farthest places in Russia (Magadan, Vladivostok), Vancouver and now I am in Toronto. As a teenager I loved to read the classics, write, photograph and daydream about the adult life that lay ahead (which is now shaping up to be as grand as originally conceived during calculus classes). Thanks to my parents, I have traveled a fair bit, and as a result, I have developed a strong global perspective.
My life is full of creativity, positive and exciting people, bright colors and constant pursuit. Recently I have developed interests in strategic planning, social media, advertising, and ethical business practices (particularly in finance). I am also passionate about visual arts (both admiring and working or collaborating on), especially conceptually art, physical activities such as squash and rocking out on a dance floor, fine dining, healthy lifestyle, traveling, and learning.
I love traveling – everywhere I go, I find new meaning and make new memories. I like to buy books from the places I visit, I like to go to all major art galleries and to eat local food. My favorite places to date have been Berlin and Barcelona. I swear I will live in Spain one day.
By now, I’ve learned not to take myself too seriously and not to stress over nonexistent and sometimes existent ‘troubles’. My attitude is best described by the words of Ernest Becker: “To live is to play at the meaning of life… The upshot of this… is that it teaches us once and for all that childlike foolishness is the calling of mature men.”
PS. I am currently a social media strategist at Cyberplex Inc., and loving it it!
I have an Amazon Wish List
And a whackload of pictures
Hi Karin,
This might sound a little creepy, but I follow you on Twiiter, however I am not sure if you follow me! Anyway, this is my first time to your blog. I like, I like it very much.
I noticed on your Twitter bio that you have some advertising, social network marketing in your background, so I thought you might be a good person to speak to about a problem I am facing.
I’ve got my own online t-shirt company. We have funny college & university themed t-shirts at Eduteesionwear.com. The problem I am having is marketing my site to students. What’s the best way to reach students besides facebook? Currently, I use facebook, but that site does not allow you to use their site for commercial use, so its a little tricky.
I guess I am looking for a more effective way to reach Canadian students on no budget. School newspapers can be very pricey, especially with so many campuses. I believe what I need is a more non-traditional method of promoting, but I am not certain.
I would appreciate your opinion. If you can help, thanks, and if not thanks for taking the time. And I will still follow you!
