From Russia with Love

Hi there, friends!
It's my first post in this community, so let's get acquainted! My name's Victoria, I'm 24, and I come from Russia. I was born in a small town in Northern Causasus called Azov, and I still live there.

My town has a thousand-year history and is famous with tourists. It's located on the left bank of the river Don. You can still find the remains of an agger, a ditch, and an ancient fortress here. This town remembers the campaigns of Kozaks, attacks of the Turks, and renowned victories of the emperor Peter I.

Maybe that's why I like history. When I graduated from school, I went on to study at the History department of the University of Saint-Petersburg. It's a very beautiful city with lots of monuments and amazing drawn bridges.

I'm a romantic by nature. I love travelling. I just have to go to three new places three times a year and share my experience with my friends and family. Visiting new places fills me with energy and a feeling of living my life to the fullest.

There are many stray animals in my hometown, and they suffer greatly. Here, in Azov, there's a charity called "Feniks", which I volunteer for. It's very hot during summer, so animals need our help now more than ever.

On my blog I'm going to share my feelings after visiting all the remarkable places, both in Russia and around the world.
Welcome to my blog, friends!
