not necessarily to my home . . . let me e'splain ...no, that will take too long - I will sum up
My older daughter is somewhat of a wanderer . . . with a wild hair . . . She has traveled all around the country. One time when we were living in Tumwater,WA and she was living in Texas. She decided to drive up to see us - in her pajamas.
She was volunteering in Detroit teaching English to immigrants from Kyrghistan and that area in general. Then she met a guy from Ukrain on the internet. She had decided to teach English in Russia. She had a smatteiing of Russian from friends in Detroit and a class she took. She decided to go over there to learn Russian, but decided to go to a school in Bishkek, Kyrgistan. ( there is apparently a large U.S. expatriate/student presence there)
She didn't care for Bishkek and so she flew to Kiev where she took the train to Crimea where her skype friend lived. They lived with his family there a while and decided to get married . . . but her visa was running out and there was not time to get married before she had to leave.
They went to Tblisi, Georgia (where she is now - if she hasn't already left) she and Max are planning on going to Shanghai, China.
She is really homesick so they want to come to the states, but she is unsure how to get a visa for him. I don't think it would be hard, considering they are married now.

Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll be terrific and partly successful and lead to something unexpected.

Maybe an embassy could provide visa instructions. I'm sure they'll figure it out...

(11,794 posts)I've developed quite the wanderlust since I started traveling at age 30. I'm 36 now.
While I have no major urge to go to Central Asia to disappear, I envision a trip to Latin America or Europe from which I (willingly) never return...
