About Me

My favorite things about travelling are meeting new great people and walking as long as possible. Just can't imagine travelling without walking around the city!
I was born and grow up in a town where you can find the best Russian honey-cakes.
I've travelled a lot around my country and visited almost every corner of the European part. If you need an advise what is worth visiting in Russia, just ask.
Last year I graduated and now I'm a master's student specializing in regional studies (Northeast Asia).

Walked around an old castle in Poland at night when I was a child. It was so scary, but funny at the same time.
Tried traditional Mongolian tea (I can't call it tea, but it was) in a ger.
Swimming with dolphins in the Black Sea.
Survived at Muse concert in front of the stage.
