My background and experiences offer a rich tapestry that uniquely qualifies me to offer travel consulting for Italy: 1. Cultural Diversity. My heritage and upbringing as a native Russian with Georgian-Jewish parents, coupled with my experiences living in the United States, France, Italy and Spain, provide me with a deep understanding and appreciation for cultural diversity. This perspective allows me to connect with travelers from various backgrounds and tailor experiences that resonate with them. 2. Business Expertise. Founding a travel business in Italy in 2016 demonstrates my entrepreneurial spirit and keen understanding of the travel industry. My company's focus on organizing and leading tours in Milan, Venice, and Florence daily highlights my intimate knowledge of these destinations and their hidden gems. 3. Global Perspective. Having traveled extensively from Solovki Islands to Tahiti, I possess a global perspective that enriches my understanding of different cultures, customs, and landscapes. This firsthand experience allows me to offer insights and recommendations beyond traditional tourist attractions, creating authentic and immersive travel experiences for my clients. 4. Multilingualism. Speaking six languages enhances my ability to communicate effectively with travelers from around the world. Whether it's English, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, or another language, my linguistic skills facilitate seamless interactions and foster deeper connections with my clients. 5. Passions and Interests. My love for reading and writing, appreciation of contemporary art, penchant for long walks, and enjoyment of deep conversations and wine all contribute to my unique approach to travel consulting. I incorporate these passions into my itineraries, curating experiences that appeal to travelers seeking intellectual stimulation, artistic inspiration, and culinary delights.
