MOVING STARTS A CONVERSATION
You are here.
And your life?
Everyday life is settled. The streets feel familiar. Yet sometimes you still feel like a guest.
Perehod is Elena Bershtein’s personal project for Russian-speaking people living abroad. Its direction is to change how we live through the experience of moving.
Through lived experience, research, questions and conversations, we explore where choice can return to daily life: relationships, work, support and plans for the future.
EVERY TRANSITION IS DIFFERENT

THE PERSON BEHIND PEREHOD
Elena Bershtein.
“I created Perehod so that a person living abroad could have a place to understand what is happening, find support and see possibilities for themselves.”
Elena lives in Portugal and is rebuilding life in a new country herself. Her practice brings together management experience, a systemic perspective and ongoing training in integral coaching.
The project centres on attention to your story and respect for your choices. You can disagree, ask questions and take time to reflect.
