The city of Egor’s birth is Obninsk, Russia. It’s about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Moscow, the capital of Russia.
As a rule, winters in Obninsk are cold and snowy, summers are warm and wet. Of course, winter is a nice time, especially for kids. There exists a lot of winter activities and games.
Despite this, we always dreamed about warm and soft winters, palms and light clothing all year round. One day in a cold February 2018 we decided to make our wish come true.
We chose Sochi. This picturesque city is located on the Black sea coast. It’s hot in summer and warm in winter. Today is November, 5 and the temperature in a daytime is 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit. There are more sunny days than in Obninsk. We enjoy living in Sochi.
Benefits of living in Sochi:
- We need more fresh fruit and vegetables on a healthy plant-based nutrition. In Obninsk it’s difficult to diversify a diet with fresh vegetables and fruit during cold winter. In Sochi there are a lot of local fruit and vegetables in local markets. Even in winter it’s easily to get more vitamins.
- The Black Sea. You can swim in the sea from May until mid-October. We noticed, that our son more often changes the size of the clothes and shoes in this climate.
We spend more time in the fresh air. Sometimes duration of our weekend walks can reach 4-6 hours. It was impossible in Obninsk.
As far as I’m concerned, there exists other benefits of living in Sochi. Everyone can find individual pros and cons. But for us these aspects are the most important.
I advice you to visit this sunny and friendly city!
