A trip to Corfu (Greece) to celebrate Dmitri Babiner‘s 50th birthday — my friend since the St. Petersburg Ernst & Young days — completely switched me into vacation mode 😜
⠀
First of all, I haven’t seen anything as stunning as Corfu in a long time. The views from the villa and the days we spent cruising on a yacht were absolutely breathtaking.
⠀
Second, it’s been ages since I’ve been in the same place with so many friends and colleagues. People came from London, New York, Dubai, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Portugal, Oman, and Cyprus. Some I hadn’t seen in 4 years, some in 14, and with some I just connected for the first time.
⠀
The sheer concentration of talented, open-minded, and brilliant people was just amazing! Naturally, it led to conversations going until 4 a.m., poker games, and Aperol flowing like there’s no tomorrow…
⠀
Long story short — the photos and videos from this magical trip say it better than any words.
⠀
Happy Birthday Dima and thanks for such a great holiday!
