Ukraine

Steve, my husband, and I have recently rented out our beautiful house in Devon, “lent” the cats Moog and Pod to my parents and moved to Kyiv in Ukraine.
Last year we visited Kyiv for about 3 weeks, to make a report on the zoo for an animal charity. We found the zoo to be pretty impressive, but with a few issues to be sorted out. Towards the end of 2008, we were contacted by the Zoo Director who asked us to come and work for her.
I’ve always wanted to work overseas, but never really had the opportunity before. We talked it over with friends and family and decided it could work.
And so began the mountains of paperwork for visas and endless jokes about snow and vodka!
