Travel has been a part of my life since the moment I was born. Growing up in Moscow I traveled a lot with my sister and we moved a lot with my family. I have spend a good portion of my life at airports and on airplanes. After going to college in America, I joined Russian Connections to help grow the business and put my business skills to good use. Over the many years RC has evolved and Always Travel was added as a separate company. A few years ago I became the owner of both companies and have big plans for both. At the same time I am very much active in the Travel community, attending many events and being a part of them. I am one of the few people that have attended every Young Travel Leaders conference and for the last three years I have been on the Steering committee for the event. I am also participate in YTP and represent the young agents at the Ensemble consortia.
