    I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan and lived there for the first few years of my life. That's where my family's from. We're Russian, and when my father's father enlisted in the military, my family was relocated from St. Petersburg to Kazakhstan, back when it was all still the U.S.S.R.

    My father won the green card lottery, so my family immigrated to the United States. Now we live in Washington state in the Greater Seattle Area.

      What a traversal! Wow. My german teacher escaped Bosnia during the civil war there. Stories like yours are always so fascinating to me.
