Know That You Can Be Free

In 2006 Meg, my life partner, helped me flee Russia: an increasingly hateful and oppressive country. We started our escape in Kiev, Ukraine in March 2006 and completed it in April 2007, arriving safely in Victoria, Canada after an ocean crossing journey of 10 months.
In this interview I, the woman she helped escape Russia, ask Meg questions I've wondered about for years.

Heroine - In 2006 Meg helped me flee Russia: an increasingly hateful and oppressive country. We started our escape in Kiev, Ukraine in March 2006 and completed it in April 2007, arriving safely in Victoria, Canada after an ocean crossing journey of 10 months.
Adventurer - Escaping with me to Canada has deeply changed Meg and her view of the world. Now, she sees no other option but to learn, experience and explore the unknown by traveling the world any way possible - on a sailboat, plane, train, car or donkey.

Misfit - As the result of her somewhat "unconventional" activities - saving Russians, exchanging her house for freedom, experiencing the world in unimaginable ways, and living her life the way SHE wants to - Meg is admired by some people, and ostracized by others.

Meg infected me with her unswerving determination to choose her own path. She has changed me and my life thoroughly and I know that the same can happen to you, to anyone. You just have to know that you CAN be free. This interview with Meg was intended to do just that.
