Put me in your suitcase, let me help you pack
cause you’re never coming back,
no you’re never coming back

— Devandra Banhart

Dedicated to Lisanne, for being brave and crazy enough.
We’ll always have Gulyaipolye.

Special thanks to all the people who opened their doors to me, all the people who brought solidarity alive when the going got rough, and to my family, for supporting me in these fiascos with love and hopefully not too much stress. Thanks to x, for the criticism that made these writings worthy of being a book, to Gabriel and Liza, for proofreading, and to Andrey (taipoint.org), for the beautiful website.
