Who Else Wants to Travel to Russia?

Who Else Wants to Travel to Russia? Moscow images by Natasha von Geldern

The Olympics offer the world an opportunity to travel from their living room.  This year the world was exposed to the subtropical region of Russia that resides along the Black Sea.

Many people believe the stereotype that Russia is this freezing cold place where you need to drink Vodka and wear fur to stay warm. While it is true that Russia only has two seasons: winter and summer, there are places in Russia where you will find it hard to believe that you aren’t vacationing in France.

Even Moscow has a summer that lasts from May to October.

The Olympics allowed Russia to reveal Sochi to the world–one of the warmest locations to ever to host the Winter Olympic Games.

I challenge your perceptions of Russia with the following photographs:

If you haven’t added “travel to Russia” on your bucket list because you thought it was too cold… you might want to reconsider. Russia has a haunting beauty and rich history like few places you will visit in your life time.

To your travel dreams,

Natasha
