Moscow is a lively city with an estimated population of 12 million people. There is so much amazing history and culture here, and I love being immersed and exploring when there’s time. Even more than the colorful sights and smells, I enjoy interacting with the native people and gaining a better understanding of what life is like here. I was raised in a very Western culture and it’s always a good experience to listen to perspectives that vary from my own.
