This week I was given the opportunity to visit the Russian
Domain. The entire experience I had visiting the country was astonishing. I
took my time to give a hand to the homeless children in Russia. After taking
some time at in the city of Moscow, Russia to help, I also took some time to
visit the mind-blowing lands of Siberia. So, here’s what I did!
Moscow, Russia:
I decided it would be a wonderful opportunity while visiting
Russia to give a helping hand. Through an agency, I decided to volunteer in
Moscow, Russia’s largest city as well as it’s capital. The city is unfortunately
home to a handful of issues. Due to it’s high living expenses, the city makes
it difficult for those who are less fortunate to get by.
While I was in Moscow I worked with an agency devoted in the
elderly, disabled, and war veterans, as well as the homeless (children
included). While volunteering I was able to help serve in soup kitchens, aid in
the orphanages, teach English to both children and adults, along with a variety
of other volunteer work in community centers. The entire experience was one to
remember, it was extremely eye-opening to see the issues that are present
throughout the area. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to help those
that are in need.
Not only was I given a great experience volunteering with
the people of Moscow, but I also got to see a lot of beautiful city!
Siberian District,
Russia:
While I was visiting the astonishing District of Siberia, I
was able to see a variety of natural beauty throughout the area.
The first place I decided to visit was Lake Baikal. Lake
Baikal is a massive lake, located in the mountainous region of Siberia, just
north of the Mongolian border. Lake Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth,
holding a whopping maximum depth of 5,387 feet! The lake itself is surrounded
with a handful of wonderful hiking trails, perfect for sight-seeing. Visiting
in the cold months allowed for some perfect ice-skating and dog-sledding as
well!
The next stop I made in Siberia was less-so a stop, but more
of a trip! I was able to hop onto the Trans-Siberian Railway! The Trans-Siberian
Railway is the longest railroad in the world, with a mind-boggling 5,771 miles
of rails. The Great Siberian route allows for you to travel the entire country
just by sitting in the train. The train passes by some magnificent sites that you
can view through the large windows. The train also stops by some of the more
significant towns and cities allowing you to take in more of the country. I can
surely say this railway is the perfect way to take in the natural beauty in the
Russian Domain!
