Is there anything better then traveling? Packing (counting how many pairs of socks would you need), booking tickets (and then realizing that you should have bought it yesterday to save that $200), saying hello (to the new lands you are about to explore).. and goodbye (to the people that will always be there, waiting for you to come back)...
To be honest, I consider myself to be a very lucky person. I am coming from an average family, who is pretty closed minded about going abroad.. I have never had thought that traveling will be something that I would ever do. But as I learned, in life we never know what will happen next.
I was born in Moscow, Russia and spent all my childhood here up until I graduated from high school. Since I was very little, I loved taking any kind of transportation to pretty much anywhere I could. My parents always call me a travel frog, like the one from the fairytale. And I guess that gave me some push. When I was graduating school my parents decided that it would be better if I could study abroad. Life in Russia is not easy and if you have a chance to receive education abroad, it is always a better option. This way I came to Canada. Here I lived and studied for 5 years, finished a language academy, college and university. During this time I also traveled to Spain, where I stayed for almost a year as an exchange student; made a trip to Brazil on my first-ever summer earnings; and won a scholarship to go to China for 5 weeks to do a research project. This is how I discovered my passion for traveling and, as many travellers might know: once you start, you can't stop...
Now I am back in Moscow. I just graduated and now looking for a full-time job. I hope I will have more opportunities where I will be able to do the thing I love most - travel. And I hope I can share it with the world.
