After seeing and hearing about AFP’s trip there, I’ve been inspired. It’s a beautiful country and Russian boys are just too cute :)

How to go to Russia.
It made me
Inspired
 "Amazing and so inspirational."
How I did it: My school (sixth form college) organised a trip to Russia, so £1600 and a few months later we all met in the Theatre car park and headed off to the airport. Hilariously, our flight was held up in London by snow yet upon arrival in Russia it was hot! Lessons & tips: Be very careful of pickpockets and hide all important/expensive property if it cannot be taken with you. Resources: School (6th Form). |

How I did it: I went on Patch Adam's annual "Healing Through Humor" Russian Tour in November of 2007. We visited various orphanages and oncology hospitals throughout both Moscow and St. Peterburg. The trip is a clowning trip, meaning that everyone on the trip dressed as clowns and our visits consisted of playing and clowning with children. There were 40 clowns from all over the world.

I just simply love Russian musicians and writers. I want to visit the places where these extraodinary individuals were born, raised and lived their lives to the full. How amazing and inspirational!!

I had always dreamed of going back to my great grandparents’ country and was able to fulfill that dream with an opportunity in May 2008. It was one of the most awe inspiring times in my life (although Moscow is considered the most expensive city in the world and I can understand why). First, it was the first time in my life where everyone could pronounce my last name (Russian origin) and all of the dinner reservations were put under my last name (people who have Eastern European last names and live in US regions that are predominately English/Irish I think can relate). Second, I was able to have all the “home” food my grandparents made when I was growing up and haven’t had since they past away. Lastly, to be able to visit the churches of my grandparents and being struck by the beauty of them made me so emotional that brought me to tears (I even brought the Russian Orthodox Cross that my grandmother gave me as a child on this trip).

I would love to go to Russia but i am fearful of not knowing the language and getting mixed up in something and thrown in a russian jail or something! I always think that it is a dark and scary place but idk? Any insights from those of you who have been?

I went to St. Peterburg and Moscow on a 10 day cruise. My favorite place was definitely St. Petersburg, especially the Hermitage museum. They have artworks there that I never knew existed. I also attended a ballet performance
Moscow was like any big city. Of course you have to visit the Kremlin. I would like to go back and visit some of the out of the way villages along the way between the two great cities.
