✨ Welcome!
I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. This blog is a space where I share my journey through international mission life with the United Nations, which began in 2021. Before stepping into this chapter, I spent more than a decade working on international development programs in my home country, the Kyrgyz Republic.
Over the years, my work has taken me through monitoring and reporting, civic engagement, and project management. Along the way, I’ve gathered stories, lessons, and little survival tricks that I wish someone had shared with me earlier.
Here, I hope to pass those on to you—whether you’re just starting out in your career, already living the expat mission life, or simply curious about what it’s like behind the scenes. My goal is that these reflections and practical tips will encourage, inspire, and help you not just to navigate mission life, but to truly thrive in it.
Welcome to this journey—I’m happy to share it with you. 🌍✨
