It is my hope that reading the many stories that have happened to me in the hunt for Russian Art will give you a desire to step out and follow a new path that will take you into a life of adventure. Crossing cultural lines or just going across town where you live and finding a new direction or friendship that will open your heart, expand your mind, and bring unbelievable happiness to your life is possible by taking that first exciting step.
