Hello everyone ! I’m very happy to meet you again with a very special post today. Today, I’m not sharing DIYs, I’m about to share with you pictures and other things about my recent one-month travel to Saint Petersburg in Russia. Have you ever gone there ? Tell me in the comments please. Today’s post will be a Travel Diary.
So let’s get started !
Why did I go to Saint Petersburg ?
I didn’t tell you, but I’m still studying. And russian language is one of my study subjects. Something important about learning a language, is that you MUST go to the country. To practizise, to learn more about the culture, to meet with locals and get contacts…. Moreover, this is a good excuse for travelling 😉 This is the reason why I went to Russia. And why this city ? Just because I’ve always been quite fond of this city, so why not ?
But, stop talking, here are some of my many pictures I took. I hope you’ll feel through them how beautiful this city is.
