Moving to Los Angeles. Part 2.
Business friends Friends from Moscow opened a hookah network in Los Angeles. Lately, I spend my free time with them. I can’t say that they had it easy, but, as elsewhere, if there is money, then everything is possible. They got the necessary license through a lawyer - here is a non-smoking staff, and it’s a little difficult with hookahs. This area is very strictly monitored. For example, in Hollywood, only three hookahs have a work permit. If one of them closes, another will not come in its place...

Moving to Los Angeles. Part 1.
I am 21 years old. I was born and raised in Moscow. In April 2015, my brother and mother decided to move to Los Angeles County, the city of Burbank, where my father lived for about three years. At that time, many things coincided, and although I had the light of an incomplete higher education at the Moscow Aviation Institute, I decided it was better to leave. Firstly, they should have taken me into the army, which, honestly, I didn’t want at all. Secondly, I had a visa open until October, and I decided to use it...

Life in Oslo
Hello! Our family moved to Norway in the spring of 2015. We always wanted to leave to live in another country, so when the husband received a job offer in Oslo, we did not hesitate for a long time. The move took place in two stages. First, my husband flew to Norway to apply for a work visa and find housing. I flew to Norway three months after him on a family visa. We did not have a specific goal to move to Norway, but after the move, I remembered a funny incident. About ten years ago, I saw on television a travel program about Norway...

Business in Lithuania
Hello everyone, I decided to write an article about how I started my business in Lithuania. I was going to produce soy products, for a start - tofu cheese. The topic is familiar because a similar direction was in Belarus, but there I worked in the implementation, and now I try myself in production. I dug up some money and sold the apartment I inherited, so there was start-up capital. Lithuania is well suited because the conditions for doing business are acceptable, the scale of the country provides...

Relocation to Greece
I moved to Greece from Russia four years ago. I was a successful freelancer, and he continued to develop in this direction. Why Greece and Athens. I was in Greece twice on vacation for 3-4 weeks.

In the center of the capital, there is not even dust, high humidity. Allergy sufferers, asthmatics, people with jumping pressure feel comfortable here. Beaches In Greece,...

Life and work in Brisbane. Part 1.
I must have an unusual story. I never wanted to go to Australia. I wasn't going there (here and there) even on vacation. It so happened that in 2017 I went to work in Mongolia for six months. This is a separate song in itself, but the main thing turned out that Mongolia is full of Australian mining business and full of Australians working there. The crazy business trip eventually lasted for 11 months. I had a desire to move from Mongolia, which is still quite harsh for life, to an English-speaking country...

Life and work in Brisbane. Part 2.
I'm only here for ten months, I think we're still in the candy-bouquet period with Australia, so I can't say I'm pissed off. I really like the climate, the rhythm of life (slow), the priorities of society (the same work/life balance that the songs in the corporations are sung about, really works here), tolerance (because everyone is different). Only bananas at 3.5 bucks a kilo can make you mad. But I'm holding on somehow. At first, there was a lot of irritation with jokes about Russians, who are all the same, and you listen to the same thing from every new acquaintance...

There is both a simple residence permit and a blue card, which is issued for the duration of the employment contract...
