About this Site
This site provides information for tourists traveling to and students interested in the 15 former Soviet Republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. It also provides a newsfeed, a travel blog feed and information about Eurasia for English speakers.
​
This blog serves two purposes. First, it chronicles my experiences traveling in Eurasia. I studied abroad in Russia, taught English in Uzbekistan and worked in Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. I wanted to tell travel stories and inspire others to travel to regions that I’ve fallen in love with. Secondly, I wanted to provide resources for others who want to travel to or want to work in fields relating to Eurasia. Information is limited so I want this blog to provide a resource for others.
