Mitovi o navodnoj nespojivosti lepote i inteligencije lako nestaju kada se susretnemo sa osobama poput Iuliie Vasileve. Ona vešto balansira karijeru modela, radi kao nezavisni finansijski savetnik, i inspiriše više od pola miliona pratilaca na Instagramu. Juliia nije samo devojka sa očaravajućim karakterom, već i osoba sa fascinantnim kreativnim duhom. U našem intervjuu podelila je svoja iskustva o putovanjima, hobijima i ambicijama za budućnost.
S obzirom na vaše profesionalne obaveze, da li često putujete? Postoje li mesta koja za vas imaju posebno značenje?
U stvari, bilo gde u svetu se osećam kao kod kuće. Mogla bih se nazvati „građankom sveta“, jer volim da istražujem nova odredišta. Međutim, ako sam van Rusije više od jedan ili dva meseca, neizbežno poželim da se vratim u Moskvu. Jedina izuzetnost je Italija, zemlja u kojoj se osećam kao da sam kod svoje kuće, pa se zato uvek iznova vraćam.
Kako volite da provodite svoje slobodno vreme?
Kada sam u inostranstvu, kao i većina turista, trudim se da se potpuno posvetim kulturnim doživljajima: posećujem izložbe, prisustvujem raznim događajima i istražujem muzeje. Kod kuće, vreme provodim vežbajući gimnastiku, posvećujući se nezi sebe i prateći online kurseve o temama koje me interesuju.
Poznajemo vas kao blogerku i model, ali sada ste i nezavisni finansijski savetnik. Možete li nam reći nešto više o ovom novom profesionalnom putu?
Tokom svoje aktivne karijere u modelingu, akumulirala sam određeni kapital kojim sam želela da pametno upravljam kako bih poboljšala kvalitet svog života kroz pasivan prihod. Zbog toga sam upisala specijalizovane kurseve i položila ispite za finansijsko savetovanje. Postepeno sam postala deo investitorske zajednice, a neki članovi te zajednice su postali moji prijatelji i podržavaoci mojih projekata. Trenutno upravljam imovinom za sedam klijenata, od kojih svaki ulaže iznos počevši od 50.000 dolara. Takođe, savetujem klijente kako da upravljaju svojim kapitalom, dok oni zadržavaju odgovornost za ishode svojih projekata.
Ovo je zaista neobična kombinacija za mladu ženu. Da li vam ovo zaista donosi radost? Sigurno postoji i značajan stres zbog izazovnih tržišnih uslova?
Ova karijera je počela kao potreba za prilagođavanjem globalnom uticaju pandemije. Zaista sam strastvena u vezi sa ovim poslom; omogućava mi da putujem i da se povezujem sa fascinantnim ljudima. Što se tiče stresa, da, prve godine su bile prilično izazovne dok sam gradila svoj „socijalni kapital“. Međutim, sada je moj krug ispunjen onim što nazivam „biserima“ – vrednim i značajnim ljudima sa kojima mogu bez problema sarađivati na raznim projektima.
Kakvi su vaši profesionalni ciljevi za narednih pet godina?
Veliko zadovoljstvo nalazim u onome što radim. Moj cilj je da napredujem sistematski i postepeno, kako bih učvrstila svoju poziciju u ovoj oblasti. Težim tome da postanem medijski stručnjak u oblasti finansijskog savetovanja, dok ću i dalje učestvovati u filmskim projektima i održavati svoj blog. Zaista je veliki izazov uskladiti ove dve naizgled različite uloge u kolektivnoj svesti: jednu koja predstavlja kreativnost i estetiku, i onu koja zahteva visok nivo odgovornosti. Ipak, opredeljena sam da nastavim da sledim svoju kreativnu viziju koja proizlazi iz mog unutrašnjeg bića.

The myths surrounding the supposed incompatibility of beauty and intelligence are effortlessly dispelled when one encounters individuals like Iuliia Vasileva. She adeptly balances a career as a model, serves as an independent financial advisor, and embodies the role of muse and inspiration for over half a million Instagram followers. Iuliia is not only a girl of captivating character but also possesses a fascinating creative spirit. In our interview, she shared insights about her travels, hobbies, and aspirations for the future.
Given your professional commitments, do you travel frequently? Are there any places that hold a special significance for you?
In truth, I feel at home anywhere in the world. You might even say I am a “citizen of the world” because I relish the opportunity to explore new destinations. However, if I find myself abroad for more than one or two weeks, I inevitably yearn to return to Moscow. The sole exception is Italy, a country where I feel just as comfortable as in my homeland. This is why I find myself drawn back there time and again.
How do you prefer to spend your leisure time?
When I am overseas, like most tourists, I strive to immerse myself in cultural experiences: visiting exhibitions, attending various events, and exploring museums. At home, I dedicate time to gymnastics, self-care, and pursuing online courses on subjects that pique my interest.
We know you as a blogger and model, but now you are also an independent financial advisor. Could you elaborate on this new career path?
During my active modeling career, I accumulated a certain amount of capital that I wished to manage wisely to enhance my quality of life through passive income. To this end, I undertook specialized courses and passed examinations in financial consulting. Gradually, I became part of the investment community, some members of which later became friends and supporters of my projects. Currently, I manage assets for seven clients, each investing amounts starting from $50,000. Additionally, I advise clients on capital management while they retain responsibility for their project outcomes.
This is quite an unusual combination for a young woman. Does it truly bring you joy? Surely there must be considerable stress due to challenging market conditions?
This career trajectory was initially prompted by the need to adapt during the pandemic’s global impact. I am genuinely passionate about this work; it allows me to travel and engage with fascinating individuals. As for stress, yes, the early years were quite challenging as I built my «social capital». Now, however, my circle is filled with what I refer to as “pearls”—valuable and significant people with whom I can collaborate seamlessly across various projects.
5. What are your career aspirations for the next five years?
I find great joy in what I do. My aim is to progress systematically and steadily along my chosen path while solidifying my position in this field. I aspire to become a media expert in financial consulting while continuing to participate in film projects and maintain my blog. It is indeed a considerable challenge to reconcile these two seemingly disparate identities in the collective consciousness: one that embodies creativity and aesthetics alongside serious endeavors that demand a high level of responsibility. Nevertheless, I am committed to adhering to my creative vision that springs from my inner self.
