Welcome to The Get Up & Get Out Podcast, I’m your host Steve Krisel and this is Episode 006 with Moulay Charai.

Moulay is a wonderful human being from Morocco who got hooked on a girl from Russia. At 23, he makes friendly contact with a Russian girl and they start emailing back and forth as penpals, which quickly turned into a serious relationship between the two of them. Just days after finishing his Master’s degree, he tells his parents that he is moving to Moscow. Moulay and I had some time to get into Moulay’s life in Morocco, his studies, Natasha’s secret visit to Morocco, getting married and experiencing an unfortunate scandal in the first 24hrs of landing in Russia. We also discuss in depth, his struggles to find work, a story of major regret, a false sense of security and well, you’ll have to listen to hear the rest!

This is The Get Up and Get Out Podcast Episode 005: Daria Voronina “The Re-pat”

On today’s podcast, we have a special guest, Daria Voronina, who would be considered by some as a “Re-pat” or a person who left their home country for many years, and has now returned. Daria She goes into great detail about her childhood, living in Syria, Cairo, Jerusalem and Dublin. We get into topics such as; living in Jerusalem during the bus bombings of 2004, the traumatic events that occurred while attending an all-girls school in Dublin, and her browsing history working at Google, and a slew of other things.

Let’s get into the show!
