Almost ten years ago, I knew little of Armenia. Just that my brother had volunteered three months of his time here that summer and that I needed to one up him. So through the Armenian Volunteer Corps, in June 2002, I embarked on a life changing journey to Yerevan. Other than visits to my parents in the US and work trips, I have not left Armenia since. Why? Well… it’s simple. I LOVE LIVING HERE.
I’m excited that Raffi has restarted this blog and hope to be able to show you all a glimpse at what life in Armenia is like… for me. I am now married (to a hayastanci 
) and have two young daughters. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to raise my children. I work for a great international nonprofit that enables me to interact with some of Armenia’s brightest students and professionals. Oh – and driving back from Gyumri yesterday, I saw my first snow!
The first snow is always very beautiful! And yes, you have 2 very BEAUTIFUL daughters.
