Visas!

There is something strangely satisfying about receiving back your passport with a freshly stuck visa on one of the inside pages. Of the places I have been, Russia and Moldova, two of the countries I will be going to this summer, are the only one’s I have ever actually had to apply for a visa in advance for! I think the whole process encompasses a mixture of anxiety (will they accept me?), and anticipation. Having a visa sticker or stamp in your passport is about as “official” as you can get, so you know that wherever you will be going is that one step closer.

Thankfully my passport now contains both my Russian and Moldovan visa’s, meaning all there is for me to do now is show up on the border and get stamped in :-)
