About She Is An Immigrant

Hi there!
I am Masha Eretnova and I’m the mind behind She Is An Immigrant.
This is my personal journey and I hope to inspire and empower other women navigating life as expats.

I share insights on cultural experiences, travel tips, and personal experience going through every step of immigration: choosing countries, moving abroad, applying for residencies, and so on.

At times, this journey feels lonely, and I hope if you feel that way too, you’ll find some inspiration and community support here.

The Journey of She Is An Immigrant

I am currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but my journey started long ago!

Year 2013

In 2012, I studied in France to pass DALF C1 exam, and that same year I visited Thailand for the first time – I was in awe! Next year, I graduated from Pedagogical University in Chelyabinsk, Russia, and moved to Saint Petersburg to study literature.

Year 2018

In 2018, I moved to Sochi, started my own business and took a deep dive into personal growth with numerous training programs. In 2019, I had my first 7-day-long hiking trip along mountain ridges in Crimea that turned into 30 days of backpacking the South of this peninsula.

Year 2020-2025

In 2020, I moved to Bali, where I met my partner. It was my first immigration experience with all the visa/residency/tax hurdles. Together we traveled around SEA.

Year 2025

In 2025 starts the next chapter of my immigration journey – I am in Argentina!
