Here is what a reader Sergey wrote to us:

Despite the cancellation of the foreign trip, during the quarantine we managed to travel a lot with audio guides. I learned a lot of interesting things about different parts of the globe, starting from the traditions in Papua, ending with the pubs of London. There is time for development, both professional and personal. I study English and German, I take digital photography courses. I watch movies, series, reveal the secrets of stars. There is not enough time for everything.

Impressive.
