Hi everyone! My name is Marina. Native Russian, I grew up in Moscow where I studied International Relations dreaming to be able to live and work in different countries. It has been ten years now that I left Russia. Since then, I have lived in Uppsala (Sweden), London, Dubai, Paris and now Mayotte. I got married to a French and have friends in all these countries.
I joined expat.com on 05 August 2019.
Expat wife and mum of 2 baby monsters
I love the abundance of the green, the nature all around, the ocean, the creol mixed culture and the ocean
Not much to do with kiddos
Working, family life
Beautiful island, wonderful lagoon, lots of opportunities for water sports
Security and the size of the island
Working in Luxury Marketing
Easy life, good quality of living, going out, shopping, beach and pools. I also found there the love of my life.
You quickly get bored with malls and beaches, there is no cultural life and little nature apart from the desert.
Masters student at a Business School
My student life, although it was not exactly in Paris, but in suburbs. I completely fell in love with France and decided that one day I would live there.
Paris is not always very welcoming and the French don't accept foreigners easily.

Huge megalopolis, very diverse, lots of expats, culturally very rich
London is expensive and the weather is not great
Exchange student
Beautiful small student town, very cosy, but you need to be a student or a family person to enjoy
On Sundays everything is closed. There is only one alcohol selling store (systelbolaget)
