ABOUT ME

There is something what my friends wrote about me

Kate, my former classmate:

I've known him for 2 years and I can confidently say he is quite reliable person to be hosted. On a weekly school trip he showed his best sides: he knows much entertaining stories and will never let you to get bored, easy-going and really generous. I can't imagine him stealing or being a drag to anyone.

Vadim, my other former classmate:

I have known Ilya for a long time and, to be honest, he is a friend of mine. But whatever is written here is nothing but true: he is a comprehensive person, a nice and amiable host, great English and Russian speaker & also a versatile and educated man. With him you can have some unforgettable and impressive time during your holiday trip. Definitely recommended.
