I’ve made this countless times, often swapping out vegetables for whatever I can find at the local markets. Other times, I’ve skipped out on some spices, using whatever I can in the kitchen of whatever hostel. The one thing I never skip out on is fresh ginger.

I spent a week in Russia and I fell in love with the country and its people. They remind me of the misunderstood big kid in class and I want to take my time to share about my solo travel experience there. I will be posting up a few short write ups about specific incidences…
