“How I spend festivity days is mostly up to my mood. I usually spend them at home, reading a book, or watching a movie.”
“I spend time with my friends as other regular guys: we hang out for dinner or walk along the shores in St. Petersburg. In Moscow, I meet with my friends and go out for a walk.”
“I dream about visiting Great Britain and Italy. I always loved these countries due to their splendid landmarks. I want to observe the architecture and try the local cuisine.

Relationships

Studying and playing
