  When I first arrived in Russia back in 2022 as an international student, I had big dreams — excelling in my studies, getting new experiences, and of course travelling across this vast country. Everything felt fresh and full of possibilities. I spent weekends discovering cozy cafes, wandering around Nevsky Prospect, and making spontaneous trips with friends. Fast-forward to the final year of my Master’s at ITMO and reality hits differently: life has become a whirlwind of deadlines, responsibilities, and a never ending to-do list.

  Bangladesh, a captivating country in South Asia, is celebrated for its lush landscapes, intricate river networks, and vibrant cultural heritage. I was born in Moshidpur village in Rajshahi, one of Bangladesh’s most picturesque districts.
