    Kristin were inspiring to listen too, so very comfortable in her whole GLOBAL standing. It was lovely seeing a BLACK woman embrace her new lifestyle, without negative feedback. She has a very high level of people's skills, which has enables her to have excellent life of knowledge, using it has her mental route compass to A2B without setbacks & blockages. Russia is a far away Land to millions of us much less CHOOSING to live & work out there...most of all loving the whole experience of a culture exchange. I wish you well Kristine may GOD continue to bless you always.

    Winter weather here in the UK, in some places can go down to minus 5, places in the north of the UK can down to minus 10 over the winter period, that's cold enough.
    Good luck to this lady!👏👏

Thank you for emailing them to share their experiences of other cultures apart from experiences of slavery and racism from the colonialists. God bless.

The Balkans are also great- Albania being my favourite, been there numerous times. Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro. In the Balkans, I travel between the countries by local buses. I have not had a bad experience in any of these countries. If you want specific advice, I am happy to help. Russian would be useful.

    Brilliant Xavier, thank you. The natural adventurous streak of Jamaicans never ceases to amaze me. Almost anywhere in the world you go; Jamaicans have been there, done that! Kristine's enthusiasm as expressed here is so refreshingly, uplifting, makes you want to be wherever she is. I’m a Jamaican living in Europe and I've been to Russia, Krasnodar in fact. I genuinely remember being aware that no one appear to notice I was different to everyone else, though I was the only black person I saw while I was in Tuapse where I stayed with Russian friends. Sadly, we are now living through the Russia/Ukraine war and I'm personally not happy with Putin's approach to the necessary maintaining of Russia's borders. I also think most Russians are not really aware of events currently taking place in Ukraine. Blessings Kristine, you are an inspiration. Michael

    The song (Jamaica) Kristine referred to is an Italian song by Robertino Loreti from the 1950's. It is one of those oldies that everyone in the former USSR knows. It is available here on youtube. Also younger generations of Russians when hear about JA sometimes hum another (Russian language) song, "Argentina Jamaica 5-0".
