About me

About me
The more I travel, the more I like my hometown. Having founded a small translation agency in St. Petersburg, I also work with some other international companies in Europe (mainly in Germany).

I really like it when people from abroad visit my country and my city and not only for specific events like the World Cup, but also for new experiences.

Why Saint Petersburg
Because absolutely every building in the city center has its own unique history, the history of the people who lived there during different periods of time… It creates a special atmosphere of hidden secrets behind every door that you pass by. And these "histories" must be told and shared.
