street lanes seem to be only "suggestions" here, & impatient cops race towards oncoming traffic when their side of the street is too congested. 🚔🚨 & the worst things to happen to me in russia? 🇷🇺 i was hugged against my will by a creepy man in a mouse costume, 🐭& i had to make some noise from the inside of a bathroom because i locked myself inside of it at starbucks. 🔒no, i didn't get robbed. 💰no, the people aren't rude here. 🌈no, the police & security gave me no trouble. 👮🏼♀️no, the water in st. petersburg won't make you deathly sick from brushing your teeth. 💦i cannot believe i was so afraid of a place simply because people (who had no idea what they were talking about) tried to talk me out of this trip! 🍉i'm having an amazing time, meeting amazing people, & have seen all the myths & stereotypes i had heard about russia crumble! don't let words, fears, or "what ifs" keep you from that leap you've been wanting to take for awhile. 🍓🍓 i'm so happy to be here for awhile. ✨🌜 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ #liveauthentic #thecreatorclass #huffpostgram #livefolk #visualsoflife #themessenger #agameoftones #folkscenery #creativehappylife #nikon #hypebeast #way2ill #awesomepix #featuremeofh #quietthechaos #uncalculated #mobilemag #misomultiples #myshotstories #travelphotography #visualvogue #destinationearth #justgoshoot #dslr #aphosphenes #instagoodnight #rollingstones #moscow #hipster (at Moscow, Russia)
