I'm from America but live and work in Russia near Moscow. I love travelling and learning languages. I studied Russian at university and decided to move here after I graduated. I've been here since August 2008. I'm interested in languages, culture and communication and blog mainly about these topics in addition to my own experiences living and working abroad and learning Russian.
I joined expat.com on 05 June 2009.
Moscow is a big, beautiful and interesting city. I like the people, the opportunity to learn the language and know more about the culture, the food is delicious. There are a lot of great travel opportunities, my salary goes far because of the exchange rate.
Living standards are a bit lower, traffic jams and uncomfortable transportation, very cold in the winter.
