Hello everyone!))) My name is Katya. I'm from Russia. I had been living in Kamchatka for 17 years. This is a staggering place with an amazing nature. Тhere are many volcanoes, geysers and other unforgettable monuments of nature. My city is situated on the Avacha Bay, Pacific Ocean.

Now, I live a in Saint-Petersburg. There is a stunning architecture! I adore walking on the streets and taking photos. To prove it - my instagram account @katya_bashun Besides, I have been dancing for 17 years and still really enjoy it! Also I am fan of archery) I like to laugh out loud (seriously, really loud) and people who make me laughing :)
