Friendly Moscow 2.0_workcamp 2013




So, who are we and what do we mean by FRIENDLY?

 Well our project has three concepts of ''friendly''
1. Being eco-friendly, protecting the environment
2. Meeting friendly people in friendly places
3. Premoting your friendly hobbies and interests

We are the Friendly Moscow 2.0 project!


Volunteers from all over the world: Russia, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Holland, Poland, Turkey and even Brazil. Our aim is to help people who either travel alone, maybe don`t know the alternative places to visit than the main touristic attractions in Russia, or perhaps don't know the language.
We want to make the city more transparent - we realize that it`s not easy for a tourist to find non-touristic places which are quite welcoming. We want to hunt down the alternative friendly places in which you can spend your time, giving you tips and help along the way.

You can like us on www.facebook.com/FriendlyMoscow, follow us on
www.twitter.com/FriendlyMoscow and follow us on instagram= Friendly Moscow, we will be updating the feeds with exciting exotic and interesting places throughout Moscow city centre.


Red Square
The first impression you have when you arrive in Moscow is that people around you are not so willing to help. It must be the environment filled with stress, the noise of the speakers. We don't know but this will make our search for a friendly Moscow even more adventurous and rewarding. Many must be the places where you can meet new people while sipping some soft drinks or concentrated fruit juices. Many must be the places which are under going renovation and becoming more environmentally friendly. The goal of modern architecture is a zero impact on the environment. Is Moscow up to this aim? Our first stop couldn't be anywhere but The Red Square.

And if we all want to see a friendly Moscow we first have to be friendly ourselves, right? So our first mission was to invite some people to join us for a “friendly picture”. We had lots of fun and heard from a dutch girl that it was the most friendly moment she had in Moscow so far. Great start, no?
