From California to "Sochifornia" (Guest: Richard Metzger)

In this episode of the "Why Russia?" Podcast, we talk with Richard, an American who has lived in both Abakan, a city in Siberia, and Sochi, a resort city on the Black Sea coast. Richard shares his fascinating journey of moving from San Diego, California, to the heart of Russia and the challenges and rewards of living in such different parts of the country.

Richard gives listeners a glimpse into his life in Abakan, where he first settled in Russia. He discusses the stark contrast in climate and culture from what he was used to in California, and how he adapted to the Siberian lifestyle. He also shares some of his favourite memories and experiences from living in Abakan, including making new friends, learning Russian, and exploring the beautiful wilderness surrounding the city.

He discusses the differences between living in a bustling city like Sochi versus a more remote location like Abakan, and the advantages and disadvantages of both. Richard also shares some of his favorite things about Sochi, including the beaches, mountains, and vibrant social scene.
