Moving to Armenia

Why Armenia?

Armenia has always held a special place in my heart. My mom moved to America from Armenia in 1992. Growing up, all I heard were stories of the land of my ancestors. My family and friends were so proud to be Armenian, and their love for the country instilled in me an admiration for a place I had never been.

When I finally went to college, I was given the chance to study abroad anywhere. In a university with nearly no Armenians. It felt like fate when a professor who was Armenian offered to take students abroad to Armenia. I jumped at the opportunity, excited to explore the land of my roots.

My time in Armenia was transformative.

I fell in love with the country, the people, the culture, and the history. I yearned to stay longer, to explore more deeply, to learn more about the land that had captured my heart.

After my study abroad program, I went on to study in London, but the experience paled in comparison to my time in Armenia. It only reinforced my desire to return to the country that had captured my heart.

Now that I have graduated, I knew it was time to make my dream of an extended stay in Armenia a reality. I completed my birthright application and booked a one-way trip to Armenia, leaving in just five days!

Through this blog, I hope to share my adventure and experiences in Armenia and become a resource for others who may be considering moving abroad. I’m excited to share what I learn and how I navigate the challenges and rewards of living in a new country.
