  • Our dear New Zealand (and all English speaking, of course!) readers. Sorry for being to lazy to translate this giant post… We normally don’t behave like that, but this time allowed ourselves a little relax, cause this article is about the documents and steps you need to take to move from Russia to New Zealand with a student visa. We are pretty sure it’s not an issue for you, is it?:) Please, just let us now in comments in case you still want to read the post in English and we will do our best, I promise!

    Mount Maunganui vibes: Wild One Wholefoods Eatery

    by Kseniia

    Mount Maunganui is obviously the most vibrant, energetic and fashionable place of our town. A narrow piece of land, stuck in between one of the "World’s TOP-25 most beautiful beaches" and a picturesque port, that ends with one of maori’s sacred symbols (and the best viewing point of Tauranga) – Mount Maunganui itself. The chicest houses and the latest trends are located in here. Among the last are sports (just have a look at those surfers and runners!) and healthy eating. No surprise, Mount now is such a popular place for organic and healthy food. And one of the must visit cafes of that type is definitely the Wild One Wholefoods Eatery, that was opened in June.

  • Sometimes you only need a tiny jewellery casket, decorated by a talented artist, to understand how huge and epic Russian culture is. Unfortunately, less and less people now know that even Moscow suburbs are a powerful centres of traditional Russian crafts. Fedoskino with its caskets, for example, used to be a great attraction for tourists from all over the world and country and now every sale is worth a celebration for local masters. But we are the only ones who are able to keep those amazing folk crafts alive! So why not to spend one day visiting some museums if you occasionally find yourself on Moscow?

  • I can’t even count haw many times I’ve been to St.Petersburg, but yet have I never visited one of its regions – Kronshtadt. Though there were an attempts to walk there in my student years, that I’ve never achieved – this place is quite remote:) Small island, located over the beautiful bridge across the sea, is full of wonders and surprises.

  • Backpacker is a tourist, who travels cheap and ignores tourists’ agencies.

    Everything in New Zealand is quite new to us, everyday is full of surprises and discoveries. But if I still can imagine how it’s possible to apply for and receive a bank card in 15 minutes, that people fix their cars before selling them or that you can’t rent a house if the number of square meters is smaller than a number of your family members (or a landlord would pay fines), the fact that their’s way new culture of traveling and now boarders for people from over the world will be definitely way harder to digest. Here is one of the most amazing and unusual experiences I’ve ever had!

  • Walking daily across our lovely Tauranga, we can’t stop admiring all these views. All you want here is to sit at every bench, to drink coffee in every cafe, to step on every beach. And the best part of it? If you want it – you do it! Cause enjoying the moment is an important part of New Zealand’s life. That’s why we decided to send 5 postcards from here to Russia – hope, they would remind you of how important it is – to enjoy this everyday’s priceless moments. Do you want one?

    We did it! Welcome to New Zealand:)

    by Kseniia

    How often do you notice that smile on your face and a feeling of pure happiness inside? We’ve been feeling it for the last two days – since the very moment we stepped out of an airplane after the 25 hours flight and realised we’re now truly in New Zealand. And though it’s hard to believe you’re actually on the other end of the planet and everything here is just as it looked like on the pictures. it’s even harder to imagine that this fairy tale won’t end in a week or two. And here come the main news: we’re here for at least a year!

    Alfa Future People 2016: how (cool) it was

    by Kseniia

    Can you imagine I was waiting for this festival since the very first press-conference in April, when they’ve only announced, that we’re gonna listen to Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix and Lost Frequencies this year? Neither Мalaysia, nor Кrasnodarskiy region (though both of them were really special and beyond any expectations) didn’t sound that exciting as Alfa Future People, where we were invited by Mastercard for the second year in a row. Moreover, organizers promised even more crazy show this year and our friend finally decided to join us, what made this weekend absolutely priceless.

  • Дорогие мои, я обещаю – еще немножко и мы с Алешкой вернемся в блог с новыми силами и материалами:) А пока не могу не поделиться своим счастьем: уже послезавтра мы вместе с Mastercard едем на музыкальный фестиваль Alfa Future People в Нижний Новогород, которого я невероятно ждала аж целый год! В прошлом, во всяком случае, было роскошно. Кроме одного "но" – по вечерам у реки и в открытом поле мы жутко мерзли. Чтобы в этот раз ничего не испортило впечатления, подготовиться стоит заранее!
