My Places

Kazan

I love Kazan. It is an extraordinary and peculiar city, with a rich history and an incredibly bright future. We have a lot to be proud of. The city has a special energy to it. You can see the relationship and influence of two cultures from the renowned “white Kremlin” neighboring the Qolsharif Mosque and the largest university in Kazan, located right next to a memorial to Musa Cälil, a well-established poet even outside of Russia. Kazan is also home to a renowned opera and Ballet Theater as well as the famed Tatar National Drama and Comedy Theatre N.A. К.Tinchurin

Here is where I feel most at home. Here is where I spent the years of my youth. Here is where the people whom I share the bonds of kinship, love and friendship, live. I can see my hometown changing, new streets being added and entire apartment blocks being developed from the ground up. There are so many interesting projects and ideas that have been brought to life before my eyes by my fellow countrymen!

Cyprus

Cyprus has become my second home, along with Kazan, the city where I was born and grew up. It is as comfortable for me to live and work here as it is in my hometown. The history of Cyprus is rich and varied, which makes it similar to my beloved Tatarstan. Here, the present is in constant contact with the past. Located at the crossroads of trade routes, it has absorbed different nations’ unique colour and energy. Add to this the warm climate and the inhabitants’ hospitality, and you will feel this unique atmosphere.

Mauritius

A tiny island nation nestled in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. With its pristine white sandy beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant coral reefs, Mauritius is a haven of natural beauty and cultural richness. It effortlessly captured my heart with its breathtaking beaches, diverse culture, unspoiled nature, thrilling adventures, and serene atmosphere, making it a tropical paradise. Whether you seek romance, adventure, or a tranquil escape, Mauritius promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you yearning to return.

Zurich

Located in the heart of Switzerland, Zurich beckons with its enchanting blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication. This picturesque city is a treasure trove of natural wonders, architectural gems, and a vibrant cultural scene. With its idyllic setting perched on the shores of Lake Zurich and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it’s no wonder why this city captures the imagination and leaves a lasting impression. I fell head over heels for this Swiss gem, its natural beauty, architectural wonders, cultural richness, and culinary delights. Whether you’re strolling along the lakeshore, exploring the historic streets, or immersing yourself in its vibrant cultural scene, Zurich is a place that will touch your heart and soul.

London

London, the vibrant beating heart of the United Kingdom, is a city that blends its rich history with modern marvels. It boasts a captivating allure that beckons visitors from around the world. The city’s skyline is a harmonious blend of iconic landmarks and contemporary skyscrapers, painting a breathtaking portrait against the horizon. It is home to some of the world’s most renowned museums, galleries, and verdant parks. But perhaps the true magic of the city lies in its people, a tapestry of diverse cultures and vibrant personalities. The picturesque beauty of this remarkable city, its grandeur and charm, weaved its spell around me.

Dubai

Occupying the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, this vibrant metropolis is nothing short of a mesmerizing wonderland, the juxtaposition of tradition and modernity, where the past meets the present in perfect harmony. From its awe-inspiring architectural marvels to its pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage, Dubai offers a unique tapestry of experiences that will leave you spellbound. It’s a place where dreams become a reality, and the boundaries of possibility are constantly pushed. From the glittering cityscape to the tranquil desert, Dubai’s beauty knows no bounds.
