Stories for Seattle

I'm a TEFL instructor in St. Petersburg, Russia. I started this blog during the Summer of 2013 while I was on a study-abroad program in St. Petersburg. When I returned to Russia a year later, I decided to resurrect this blog. This blog includes stories of my life in Russia, my travels to other places, some teaching experiences and materials I used for EFL teaching. And if you're wondering why my blog is called "Apollo's Travels," that's because 'Apollo' was my nickname while at university.
