I joined a Nomax group for a picnic at Asseyev Estate and met travelers who loved photography as much as I do — the manor gardens were stunning together.

A Nomax-led museum crawl to the Museum and Exhibition Centre turned into an impromptu food tour around Sovetskaya Street — great local pastries and company.
I found a small group for a sunset walk along the Tsna embankment on Nomax and we discovered quiet memorials and riverside cafés I wouldn't have found alone.
