About Me

Open-minded traveler and writer from Saint Petersburg.
I was born in Orenburg, which is a small city near the Urals, then moved to Saint Petersburg to study. I love every single piece of my second home, I know its history, museums and a lot of hipster places.
I took part in exchange programme to Finland, where I met most of my current friends. In 2017, while working with international students, I was so inspired by them, that I decided to participate in Erasmus programme to Wroclaw, Poland.
I travel a lot, so if you are interested to know and to share the information about cities, countries, places, people, I would be very happy to exchange the knowledge.
