Going to Russia with only a backpack and a bucket load of guts, to travel through this spectacular country from West to East. This is our dream.
Our goal, as curious people who love to search for new hidden places and people: Explore the Slavic culture and landscape, learn to speak the Russian language, and discover the world outside of our home country.
 
We chose Russia as our destination because there's so much negative association with this beautiful country and we like challenging ourselves to find the good in what people think is bad. 
 
We believe that going to Russia will encourage us to step out of our comfort zone, dare us to try new things, and grow us to overcome problems and challenges. We believe it will teach us respect, understanding, and appreciation; for cultures and people different from our own, for what we have and don't have at home.
 
Embarking on this journey is important to us; for our personal growth, our curious spirit, and our wanderlusting souls. If you support us in achieving our dreams, you can follow us on our adventures in Russia on our private Instagram account and we will send you a thank-you postcard - from Russia, with love.
 
We're looking forward to sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience with you!!
