Linkedin post In the mid of October, I have moved back to Kazakhstan. Exactly 20 years ago, I went to Europe to search for a better life for my 4-year-old son and me. I found what I was looking at at the level that Europe could give to me at that time. Without going into many details of a personal journey, to sum up, the list includes education, number of expatriate positions in top tier European cities, aside hobby turned out […]

Dear Friends, if you were among 20 000 readers who came last year to read the posts on the steppebystep, before all the changes me and as a result, this website went through, you probably know that I was in the search for new experiences and new places.
