Hi I'm an australian and moved to Moscow with my husband a month ago. We spent the last seven years living in Dubai as my husband works in hotel development. I come from a travel background and wrote travel brochures for the Australian market on Asia and spent 20 years travelling during that time. I'm now setting up home in Moscow for what maybe the nest three years and am writing a blog about the experience.
