It’s a nice feeling to relive travel memories. My “Weekend Away in Moscow” was published in this month’s Oryx Magazine for Qatar Airways. If you’re not traveling on the airline in September, you can take a read of the snapshot here:
“At 867 years of age, Moscow shows no signs of slowing down.

This fascinating city is a melange of glitz, glamour, and a rich cultural heritage.” Read more: weekend away – Magnificent Moscow – Europe – Oryx In-Flight Magazine.
These pictures will make sense after you’ve read the piece.
