This is Olga, she's a really sweet girl and a gifted rock climber from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere like half a day from Moscow by train. She came to study in New York while going to college in Russia and liked it so much she decided to drop out and stay in the United States. Her parents were not exactly thrilled when they found out their 20 year old daughter wasn't coming home, and I can't imagine what they thought when they found out she was moving to Colombia with her boyfriend Carlos. She's going to visit them next week for the first time since she left two years ago. I'm really impressed with her, having the cojones (ko-HO-neiss, that's Spanish for balls) to leave home forever at that age. Plus she's fluent in English and Spanish.
