|  | Currently, I work for a Russian company and as a result, over 2006-2007, I had the opportunity of visiting St Petersburg several times over a total of 5 months and I experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter there.
St Petersburg captivates with its incredibly stunning architecture, very clean streets and gorgeous people. In each season, the city feels and looks absolutely different. That's why I keep returning to the same spots and capturing alternative images of them. Well, what else can I do there?
Special thanks to my wonderful colleagues - Danila, Natasha T, Natasha S, Eugenia, Nina, Ksenia, Dasha, Grisha, Roman, Dima T, Dima Y, Andrew V, Sasha, Eugene, Olga, Andrew G, Andrew the driver, and all the rest! - and some of their friends and families who took good care of me and shared with me their culture and endless 'Russian traditions'. |

I shall be working in St Petersburg, Russia for about 3 or 4 weeks. This is indeed one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

It's great to be a little unnerved by new countries, new experiences, new currencies, new languages, new food, new ways of doing the same things... I love it.
After plucking up the courage to resign from my job, from Singapore, I made my first hop to China, then north across to Mongolia and took the train through Russia. I then journeyed to Western Europe to meet up with some friends.
I flew across the Atlantic to Brazil next, before overlanding to Argentina and wandered up the length of Argentina and Chile up to Peru, being turning back to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I headed to Mexico and made an unexpected stop in Cuba, then, I crossed the other large ocean mass, the Pacific, from Los Angeles in USA to the beautiful French Polynesian Islands. Then, it's off to HOME...
Gosh, had it been a year already!?!!
