Welcome to my blog
Hello! My name is Salma and I am a journalist, a mom, and an aspiring Russia connoisseur. Our home is Vancouver, Canada, but Moscow has been our temporary home for the last 3 – going on 4 years now after my husband accepted a transfer here. Welcome to my blog!

If you’ve ever wondered what the best subway system in the world looks like, if you’re curious to know what it’s like to live in a Hollywood spy movie, or if you just want to know if the Gulag still exists, you’ll find the answers in the blog.
