She is in love with the Russian theater, communicates with relatives only in Skype and constantly drinks tea, which she never did in America. With tours Joe traveled all over Russia, in her free time translates plays from Russian to English and performs with her own band Sauce Kefal in restaurants and bars in Moscow. In the subway she reads Platonov and Rasputin, monitors the presidential elections in the US and considers the monarchy to be the best way of government.
