This is a story about a woman who loves psychological experiments.

My name is Antonina, and I went through the experience of being homeless in San Francisco, being a queen in Los Angeles, being a truck–driver in Ukraine, being a model in Moscow. Every time only for a day.

Because why not, right? Isn’t this what this game we call “Life” is all about? — Experiences!

I am keen on this feeling of “walking in someone else’s shoes”.

For me, it’s all about breaking the habit of being your old Self and inventing a new one.

At first, the nature of my “social adventure” was rather unconscious. Later I came to realize the rules of this game. And now I am in charge of and so can have fun with this transformational process. That’s rather easy if you choose to step out of the “Matrix”.

Just walk into the assumption “I’m enough” and “I could be different”.

Today I’ve decided to play the role of a Queen (playing card). Here is the outcome of this creative endeavor with our team of talented professionals:

Photographer — Ifusha Kalina
Wardrobe Stylist — Alice Pau
Makeup artist — Asia Park
Hairdresser — Yan Sar

It’s a pure art experiment.

Have you ever thought what the character of the Queen of Clubs, Queen of Spades, Queen of Hearts and Queen of Diamonds would be?

What makes them so different from one another? Dive deeper with all your creativity and curiosity.

What are their mindsets, appearances and emotions, if they were to be real people?

I’ve tried to walk in their shoes which turned out to be quite exciting and mysterious.

What I offer you is a kind of ‘social teleport’*. If you’re daring and curious enough for experiments — then psychological tourism* must be just the right type of experience for you. Even if you are afraid — I dare you to challenge your fears. I invite you to partake in a unique and transformative adventure: test–drive new social roles to get to know yourself better.

They say, experience is everything, right?

I created a playground for the adventurers who are interested in trying a new profession, different social status, immerse themself in a completely unknown surroundings. The startup “Anybe.com” allows you to be anyone you want. It’s a marketplace of life–changing experiences:here you can book an offline experience and try on “a new life” for a day or two. Basically, you show up to a real workspace, get your new uniform and shadow an incredibly masterful “Guru”. You can choose to be a homeless person, a scientist, a farmer, a musician, a chef, an artist — pretty much anybody you want we got a versatile menu here!

What does it take to have a transformative experience you might wonder? Mainly, just being present in a moment, whatever it has to offer, and letting your comfort zone bubble burst, facing and embracing any uncomfortable feelings that shall arise as you are going beyond your “limits”

Sounds like a lot? Well, here is the thing. When you’re shifting from one character to another, not only do you begin to deepen your empathetic capacity, you get to access the uttermost core of your psyche. .

That’s what I call emotional tourism. My favorite kind of magic.

As I, myself, am going through these sorts of experiences, I begin to realize like a gamer with lots of avatars of personalities: I’m free to be anyone I want. And as a takeaway, I bring these insights back into my real life for personal and social growth.

“Who am I?”

After all, this could be the most significant question that tomorrow’s leaders ask themselves.

Okay, let’s say, you have everything you need and more: a beautiful house, nice car, beloved family, social status and plenty of social roles to fulfill. But does any of these truly give you an answer?

If you are a Seeker, like me, — I’d love to organize this unique and life-changing experience for you.My mission is to enrich one life with an access to unlimited number of lives without giving up your own. All you need is to choose the destination for your social teleportation experiment.

Dare to leave your Self behind.
