My goal for the SRAS program and the ERLP program is to develop intermediate proficiency in Russian, Uzbek and Tajik.

I spent the 2010s, traveling and working abroad. Here are my favorite trips in the 2010s.

I decided to go to St. Petersburg because I wanted to see Moscow and wanted to focus on culture, history and politics over language.

I enjoyed seeing Lake Ladoga. I gained a new appreciation for the Siege of Leningrad and geography of medieval Russia.
