My native place

Every person in the world has his own Motherland, but, besides, he has his own Malaya Motherland. It is a place where he has been living from his birth.

As for me, I have such a place too. It is Talinka, a small town, located in the North of our country.

These places in Talinka are for those people who are looking for peace and a lovely rural environment.

This place is still pretty wild with forests and rivers where you can go on real adventure holidays.

The fishing is said to be excellent

The countryside around Talinka is green, with rich vegetation

We have harsh climate, but you can spend time outdoors if the weather is not cold.

A friendly smile is a common thing everywhere…

Talinka is a great place to live .
