I am currently acting as the managing director which in fact means creating new itineraries, writing emails and eventually guiding a few tours during the short but intense travel season (June-Sep). In 1995, still a university student I was hired as an interpreter by an adventurous Kiwi called John Grant from a NZ town of Papakura. However odd it may sound, he aimed to find a yeti as 4 years earlier sighting of the mystical creature in Western Mongolia had been reported. At the end of a month of mountain travel both on foot and horseback I realized what I loved the most – travel. Today after 20 years, almost every time I plan a new itinerary I still get an urge to personally go and guide that very tour. And this is when I say to myself: “You still have a reason to stay in tourism”.

The breathtaking landscapes, warm and hospitable guides, along with the delectable Kazakh food, make it difficult for me to imagine any room for improvement!
