Description

Rachel Lloyd grew up in rural Florida, never dreaming she'd one day study international law—in Russian—in the middle of a global crisis.


In this episode, she shares her bold leap from small-town life to the heart of Moscow, how she adapted to a new culture and language, and what it was like living abroad during the war in Ukraine.


We talk about language barriers, protests, Russian friendships, finding confidence abroad, and how it all changed her idea of “home.”
