So, you heard of my story and came to find more inspiration? That’s good. But I have a surprise for you. My and Meg’s story didn’t just wrap up nicely with us arriving to the illustrious Canada. The voyage never ended. Why? No way I can explain it in one sentence. Take a look around, read or watch what I say. It’s all there. But in short, life is achingly finite and way too valuable to spend it letting others wipe their feet on you. So, here Meg and I are, being true to ourselves and looking for the place that we would love/tolerate and ultimately want to stay. The absolute dream is to find people we belong with.

My escape from Russia in a nutshell
Have you ever imagined that one day, the only way for you to live your life would be to get onto a sailboat and take off for the wild blue yonder? Leaving behind everything you have ever known. Scary? Tempting? This is what I did; knowing nothing about the sea or how to sail. Seventeen years later, I am still at it. It turns out, there is no place on land for you, if you want to be free and treated with dignity. Yet, what an adventure!
