I was born in Russia. I grew up between two worlds: my father was Russian, my mother Spanish — a descendant of the "Children of Russia", the Basque children evacuated to the USSR during the Spanish Civil War. I've worked as a translator, interpreter and Russian teacher for over 30 years, and since 2013 I've been writing this blog to help travelers discover Russia with practical, always up-to-date information. Author of the Russiable Guide, over 1,000 pages updated every year. If you'd like to receive my tips straight to your inbox, you can subscribe to my newsletter. And if this blog has helped you plan your trip, you can buy me a coffee ❤️.
