Welcome to the TravelPod forums

Hello Everybody!

I read several travel stories here, and I must admit they are so interesting, they make me feel, that all I need to be happy si to take by big bag and go travelling to some of fascinating places, described by this forum participants. And I hope (I KNOW) - one day I will travel through the whole World!

But, now, I'm last year graduated young girl with limited funds. Hovewer it is not an obstacle for me to travel in my country - Kazakhstan. Around my native city Almaty there are enormous quantity of places to visit! And I do it.

I prefer hiking the most. I even have 3-d travelling guide cathegory. This means, that I can be a guide and take people to faravay untouched places, where you may not meet any people for 3-4 days.

Hope my travel stories will be interesting as the ones, which I read, and which touched me strongly.

And, if anyone would like to visit our country, I could provide any possible help (for free, of course). I can arrange invitation-letter for visiters, and send a price-list of our hotels, and also do many other things, to make your visit cheap, interesting and easy.

I think it would be great if guests of our country could visit not only famous and overcrowded places, like "Medeo" or "Chimbulak", but also see huge glaciers, forests of blue Tien Shan spruces, and experience unforgetable vacations in our beautiful mountains.

Welcome to TP Vikik and so great to hear you are from Almaty!

I passed thru there several years ago and would love to return one day to see some of the places you mentioned. After you have been on the Forums a bit, you should consider becoming a Local Expert for Almaty or Kazahkstan.

I look forward to seeing your input on the other threads as well!
