The travel journal/blog of an accidental Muscovite, swopping a lifetime in London for Russia. My aim was to explore the confusions, pleasures and - hopefully - moments of insight that going somewhere else can provoke.

Over a year of work in Moscow, I got to know the city, particularly its culture, and a little about Russian life. I can give plenty of hints and tips for travelers, whether you are staying for a weekend or for much longer. And I also enjoyed photographing the city as a long-term newcomer rather than as a tourist.



This second edition is bigger, with more photographs.
