Russia

It would take me years and years to express all the reasons why I love Russia this much, and especially :

Saint-Petersbourg, my place of birth.

Not only this city is famous for its european style and the Hermitage museum but also because there's a story behind every single building and it is becoming more and more attractive to foreign tourists for its unique charm; no wonder why people call it the "Northern Venice"!

The things you should do in Russia:

- Visit Pushkin (SPB)

- Go to the Red Square and visit the GUM (Moscow)

- Visit all the monuments in SPB (St-Isaac's cathedral..)

- Get lost in the "dvoriki" (small streets) of SPB
