MOSCOW

Rhianon in Red Square
My trip to Moscow was quite rushed because I had left my job in Samara and was waiting for a ticket on a Korean Air flight to Korea and Japan. I stayed in a youth hostel in Zelenograd which is about an hour outside of Moscow. I managed to do most of the touristy things but didn't have the time or money to tour inside any of the places I saw. When I look back on my 3 months in Russia I am happy with what I did and think I have probably spent longer there than most people!
