Sasha: Economics Student from Siberia

Sasha: Economics Student from Siberia

Sasha, an economics student, said one of her most memorable events last year was a tough, real-life lesson in personal finance. Like many others, her family's dollar mortgage became a burden when the ruble tumbled. Thus, Sasha said she spent a lot of time running back and forth to banks to get the mortgage converted to rubles. Sasha, who wants to develop and market new consumer products, said people should not take a mortgage in foreign currencies. 

Arina: Star Wars Fan (2)

Arina: Star Wars Fan (2)

Arina was buying something from a kiosk in a Moscow street underpass, a schoolbag in the form of a Stormtrooper from Star Wars on her back. Arina said she became a Star Wars fan thanks to her older brother and subsequently showed me her Darth Vader t-shirt. She said she wants to become a fashion designer and create 'something different'... like her unusual schoolbag.

Anna: Lover of Indian Culture

Anna: Lover of Indian Culture

I remember how some friends in NYC changed their look and image rather substantially after one or two years after highschool...Anna, who grew up in a provincial Volga town, entered university as an architecture student in Sept 2013 with brown hair. By January 2014, she had black hair. By June, when I first past her at a bus stop, she was blonde with dreads and 'India-inspired' clothing. She said she was on her way to a weekend-long outdoor music festival and dreamed of visiting India. When I saw her again at end of 2014, she said she was taking time off from university, spending her days drawing India motifs and doing yoga.
