About me
California native currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia. So far travelled to 49 countries in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. My main interest is the former Soviet states, especially Russia, Ukraine, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. I am a student of political science and international relations. I can provide the most advice on Ukraine (I lived in Kiev for 2 years and travelled around the country quite a bit) and the South Caucasus (where I am now) but also on Russia and Eastern Europe.Recent activity
