I'm proud to be Russian and I like sharing this love with other people. I haven't travelled much abroad, but I've been to lots of places here in Russia and I can honestly tell you: this is a great country, the people here are amazingly hospitable and incredibly generous. However, if you choose Russia as your holiday destination, make sure that it's not only Moscow on your list.
Well, but if you happen to be here, then don't forget to contact me. I like guests and I adore cooking, this is my passion, so first of all you won't be starving. What's more, if you're up to, I can also teach you how real Russians drink vodka.
