And then there was one. One week until I depart the U.S. for a country that is all but familiar to me. One week until I am heaved into a place where simple things such as asking someone for directions, reading a restaurant menu, or shopping in a grocery store become seemingly insurmountable tasks. At least I know what I will be getting myself into- kinda. Despite the multiple problems I may face, I am pretty stoked to say the least. While I am abroad, I plan to not only explore the history and culture in and around St. Petersburg, but other places in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia as well. As of now, trips to Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Ukraine and Poland are planned. Domestically in Russia, I plan on visiting Moscow (of course) and, quite frankly, other cities you’ve probably never heard of. (Hipster blog line of the day)
One of my most recent purchases was a Nikon D3100 Digital SLR camera with which I will be documenting my travels, and will be posting many photos here, on my blog. So stay tuned for pictures of random and crazy Russian stuff. Bye now.
