St. Petersburg…ahem the one which is not in Florida 😀 . Yeah the name caught on, morphing from legendary Russian city into all-year beach destination: the FL’s one was named by the Russian born aristocrat Peter Demers. There are only few people knowing this fact. I recently grabbed on it after having FL’s Petersburg in my phone for weather forecast : was wondering why it shows blasting heat temperatures while it was misty and snowy outside…lol

Anyway, Saint Petersburg, the one that in Russia, with its stunning proudly standing architecture, marine life, colourful gardens, spellbinding forest would leave with you some remarkable stories…and different stories depends on who you brought with or none. Warning! Non-paid advert. I might sound subjective since I lived in the city for long, and It could seem I want this city to profit from tourists, but fortunately, Im not in the that fodder. As a nomad I’m more interested to help you to save money for more journeys rather than spending a fortune on something that is not your cup of tea.  

My friends, who were in the city whether from EU, USA, had specific interests…to have fun and party with Russian girls. And as a Russian girl I could say there are bunch of places in the city – in summer season, especially – where you would be accompanied by beautiful girls and they would speak a bit of basic English: Bars, Clubs, open air festivals, as well as sport activities. The last one is the healthiest option, but no guarantee that there will be girls of your type, FYI, they won’t be gold diggers 😀 Im trying to set the space for such thing as meeting folks for mutual sport interests: not a dating app, but letting people to get along while doing something together and then its their own business what they would do with their friendship. Think is matters for an experience, especially, if a person is new to a place he/she is at.  

Dating apps are tricky in Russia, and introduced to the girl online you need to meet at some cozy place chosen by yourself — there is a high risk of fraud; Girl could take you to the bar or restaurant where she would know people, who work there, and act as a hook who brought the client to them, basically, to rip you off…financially. This could include the extra cost for an alcohol – double, triple or even more priced, then the service itself, and so forth….So watch out, otherwise you are risking of walking out of some bar with hallow pockets, looking down, palms cupping your forehead, clenching teeth — being racked by regret, but nevertheless, taking a valuable lesson from it – not to trust strangers, even if they are too sexy, — or pard me — too good-looking to say ‘no’ to. 

Russian style is not your thing? Well, most of this finest pieces of architecture we see in the city were set by famous European architects, living in 18th – 20th century. Handy masters from Italy, France, Spain…were coming to Russia to create, bringing their ideas to life. This is shocking, but Russia honours huge respect to European beauty standards as much as I know, for whatever years [more than 30 so far] I spent living in the ‘Matreshka’* country;

*Many knowns Russia for the Matreshka’s dolls culture… and that’s pity.
