Iri Into Elsewhere
Russia
It’s my home country — the place where I grew up, made my first friends, started traveling, fell in love, and experienced so much more. A land of incredible beauty, rich history, and deep traditions. Russia is so much more than what you see in the news. Its culture and history speak loudly, through streets, stories, and everyday life.
The people? Warm, kind, and welcoming. Yes, we may come off a little cold at first — that’s part of the charm — but all it takes is a conversation, a shared tea, a question asked with curiosity, and you’ll see the hospitality unfold.
A small personal note: I understand the world we live in — truly. But here on this blog, I want to focus on celebrating cultures, people, and traditions. I try to separate that from politics and government decisions. You won’t find my political opinions here, and I’d love to keep it that way.
Let this be a space for love, connection, understanding, and admiration — a little corner of the internet where we can explore the beauty of the world, together.
Know before you travel
Kamchatka
Kamchatka is my forever favorite region in Russia. It’s anything but fancy — and that’s exactly why I love it. Real, raw, bold, and breathtaking.
From black-sand beaches and steaming volcanoes to wild waterfalls, whales, and even surfing — Kamchatka is pure adventure. It's wild nature at its best.
If you're even slightly into active, off-the-beaten-path travel… this place will steal your heart.
Moscow
It is probably the most modern and dynamic city in Russia.
Nature, culture, nightlife, history, dining — whatever you’re looking for on your travels, you’ll find it here. From peaceful parks to grand museums, from street food to fine dining, from quiet mornings to wild midnight walks — this city never stops and there’s no place quite like it.
Karelia
A place for every kind of dream. Whether it’s summer camping by a quiet lake, a bonfire crackling, guitar songs under a thousand stars —
or a cozy winter adventure with husky sledding, mulled wine, and a warm fireplace — Karelia has it all.
Lazy hikes, stunning views, rich history, and even fancy dining — you can shape your perfect vacation here, just the way you like it.
