In 2016 I decided to permanently move to Russia. Having spent over 30 years of my life in Southern California, I was over-worked and (quite honestly) bored. I needed to change my life’s course drastically. Forcing myself to adapt to a new culture and learn a new language was just the thing I needed to disrupt a mind-numbing routine and create an opportunity for personal growth. The idea for this blog was a result of finally having the space and time to share some of my experiences and perspectives. It will focus on things I think are helpful for maintaining a healthy mind and body in today’s uh…world. In a word, my perspective could be described as unorthodox, but honest nonetheless. It’s my wish that some find this blog useful.
