She also worked in Moscow in the hotel, airline, and financial services sector before becoming a full-time writer in 2006. Jennifer is a fluent Russian speaker and makes herself understood in French.

Jennifer is the award-winning writer of a humorous memoir about living in Russia: Lenin Lives Next Door: Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow and a popular primer on Russian history designed for travelers: Have Personality Disorder, Will Rule Russia: A Pocket Guide to Russian History.

I am an American writer and historian based in Western Massachusetts. I write on a wide range of topics, with a particular interest in history, food, travel, and culture. I had a very successful August with Azamara Cruises in the Baltic this year. Not only did I receive outstanding feedback on the lectures I delivered, but I also earned the gratitude of both the Shore Excursion and Future Cruise Sales departments by actively promoting experiences and destinations as integral parts of my lectures.

The following recent Cruise History has been recorded for this candidate.
