Eli from Russia

Every day I meet new people, and the hardest question I get asked is ‘where are you from?’, because I’ve been wandering around the world since I was 17, and traveling non-stop for the last three years.

What does this question even mean? Where was I born? Where did I grow up? Where do I have a house? Where do I live at the moment?

I grew up in Russia’s Perm region, I’ve never had my own house, all my belongings are at my friend’s place in Moscow, where I come to change them between seasons, and sometimes I go to the city Pyatigorsk to rest between trips. So, I’m a nomad.

Many people don’t understand my answer and try to figure out how it’s possible to ‘live nowhere’. But I just live everywhere :) at the moment I’m exploring the islands of the Far East. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but everything is incredibly interesting and beautiful.
