Spotter since 2017
About me
I am into environmentalism, and most probably for that reason, the nice spots in my city that come to my mind are linked with parks or natural spots.
I also love smoke-free indoor spaces. Probably because there are few of those in Yerevan.
I like writing and photography. I am also one of those persons who can walk at the same spot every day and notice something new every now and then.
All these things combined make me interested in writing and sharing about the city I live in --Yerevan-- for those who are ready to explore it.
Why Yerevan
Despite gentrification (which is probably happening in most parts of the world), I like Yerevan because everything here is familiar to me. I feel comfortable here, I know I won't ever get lost here, even if I don't know all of its neighborhoods well enough. I realized how comfortable I am here after 3 years abroad and travelling/studying/working. I felt this is a comfort zone. Comfort zones are there to be left behind and then revisited :)
Where else can you find me online?

"Hanrapetutyan Street" in Yerevan is one of the most central in the city, yet there is so much to see here. The buildings are really beautiful and old...
By
"Calumet Ethnic Lounge Bar": THE place for good music in Yerevan. I don't come as often as I'd like to because of the smoke, but it's a must at least once.

"Dzoragyugh District" in Yerevan is quite old. My favorite part of it now is the house-museum of the renowned Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov.

"Cafe Central" in Yerevan is so warm, I particularly like coming here on gloomy days. I love their oriental types of coffee and can definitely recommend!

"Victory Park" in Yerevan is where the statue of Mother Armenia is located. There is a museum inside it, but I like it even for just the spectacular view.
By
"Mirzoyan Library" is built like what an old neighborhood in Yerevan would look like. It's a library, but there's a lot more going for this place...
By
"Noy Wine Factory" Yerevan has tastings - it's where I had the best brandy and wine I ever tasted. What's more: it's built next to a 16th century fortress.
