Welcome to my blog!

At the age of 7, I moved from a city in Russia to a town in Belgium. This was the beginning of my first experience with acquiring a new language and being immersed in a different culture.

More than two decades later, I still continue to learn new languages and explore various cultures. I believe there is an endless amount of things to learn about any culture in general, but that is what makes the exploration fun.

The aim of Framing Cultures is to share my personal experiences with some of the cultural aspects of different countries and their respective languages. I want this blog to be a place where I can highlight the stories, experiences and bits of knowledge which I find memorable.

Hope you enjoy reading these stories and about the different ways of life as much as I enjoyed discovering them!
