We are from Russia, a small town - Stary Oskol. Now we are studying in St. Petersburg in the magistracy. Ilya - an ecologist, geographer, worked as a teacher and guide-biologist. Irina is a teacher of mathematics and physics. For several years we have been traveling together, sometimes we go on mountain hikes, sometimes by hitchhiking.
