Vera Grigoreva
My name is Vera and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city that I love.
I have both studied and experienced Tourism at it its fullest. On the one hand, I have a university Degree in Tourism. On the other hand, I have been working in the industry for over 11 years, specializing in South-American destinations (such as Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil & Peru) and as Head of the international project of the luxury cruise train "Imperial Russia", running along the Trans-Siberian route (Russia, Mongolia, China) and the Northern route (beyond the Polar Circle to Kola Peninsula). I have also traveled through Europe and South East Asia.
For me, traveling is a passion, one that allows me to connect with new cultures, landscapes, languages, arts, sensations and stories. And those are the feelings that I want to share with others, especially with people who, like me, feel a special connection to South America -a paradisiacal and fascinating continent.
I hope that, together, we can shape your dream vacation, and create memories that, I assure you, will be unforgettable.

How did you get involved in travel?
"I have always marveled at the worlds that exist beyond borders: lands of dreams, passions, stories and adventures that are the stuff with which wonderful and unforgettable memories are built. I've always wanted to be part of that exploration, and I love being able to make others experience the same as me."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Although I have traveled incredible places, I think nothing equals to Torres del Paine, in Chilean Patagonia. Hardly anything in the world compares with the majesty of these mountains, surrounded by glaciers, lakes and a colorful flora impossible to describe. Believe me, not even the most sophisticated photography camera will ever be able to replicate the beauty of those scenarios."
