San Francisco: From the Golden Gate Bridge to Bedroom Dancing
Urban and peaceful, chaotic and cozy, and unbelievably beautiful - this city won my heart, as did my number one in the world - Paris. I do envy the locals who can live in such beauty every day.
I can’t say I loved the center of the city with its skyscrapers, as I much preferred staying at the Fisherman's Wharf with its beautiful piers. Popular with tourists and sea lions, the Fisherman's Wharf is full of shops, silly museums and family fun.
But I preferred piers with fewer tourists as you can just enjoy your time, reading or dreaming, and feeling happy.
Ever ride a national landmark? It's being done every day in San Francisco.
We haven’t had time to go to Alcatraz Island, but couldn’t stop shooting this beautiful scenery.
It was so difficult to select just a few pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge - a technical masterpiece that can only be described in superlatives for its beauty.
My son Misha loves making portraits of me with his Olympus xz1.
From America I brought a new hobby – movie making. Enjoy this short video of my San Francisco.
Thanks to Airbnb.com we found this amazing Spencer Mansion where we spent plenty of pleasant minutes...
Living in this house was like living in a fairytale, which inspired me to make this video... Enjoy!

Discovering a Tropical Paradise LangkawiLangkawi is located just 30 kilometers off the northwest coast of the Malay Peninsula. It is a beautiful archipelago of 104 islands, surrounded by the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. Some of the islands are inhabited, but some are just like bare rocks sitting in the sea during high tides.

Marina Bay Sands: The Views You Won’t ForgetChoosing a hotel in Singapore was simple. We had absolutely no doubt about where to stay…. as Marina Bay Sands had been at the forefront of our minds from the very first moment we planned our trip to this Asian city. The hotel is all about ‘ultimate luxury’…. and it offers more than just great accommodation; it has shopping, dining, shows, casinos…. but the best thing about it is its amazing view from the most iconic Infinity Pool in the world.

My Turkish Vacations: The Art of Doing NothingI have to confess to something. I’m not adventurous. I’m rather lazy. While I am on vacation, I hate busy cities, queues to museums or waking up early to go on excursions... The best time for me on vacation is when I can do NOTHING. Just lie close to a pool or on the beach, eat lots of sweets (yes, I have to confess to this as well), enjoy slow dinners accompanied by an amazing view and a pleasant company or stay in a big luxurious bed all day long.

A Long-Short Life Called ‘Summer’A long-short life called ‘summer’ has started! The air is full with warmth, the city is storming with bright colors and at last people have begun smiling without any special reason. Summer is the most suitable season to throw out rules imposed by somebody, to stop analyzing all ‘pro’s and ‘contra’s. It is time to create and misbehave, to let yourself be what you want to be!

My Amazing Car Journey Through CreteI love Crete. For me it is not just another Greek island, it’s more like a small country where you can find anything you want. The largest island of Greece is so fascinating and diverse that you can spend weeks here and not get satiated with it.
