Title: The Expat Pod: Xenia Subtitle: Leaving Russia for Western Europe Episode Number: 35 Release Date: 04/03/2024 Duration: 1:03:01 Welcome to The Expat Pod, the podcast where we explore the ins and outs of living abroad, embracing new cultures, and navigating life as an expat. I'm your host, James Doran, and today, we're diving into leaving Russia for opportunities to work. Xenia shares about the difficulties finding work as a young woman in Russia, her incredible journey has taken her to many countries and she finds herself settled in The Netherlands, where she was able to leverage her knowledge of Russian language to be a strength for her to work. "My name is Xenia, I am a Dutch-based photographer, minimalist and eco-warrior. Ever since I got my Master's degree in sustainable development, I have been incredibly interested in recycling and waste management. I am a poet at heart, very empathic and passionate. My hobbies are learning languages, photography and travelling."
