CURRENT MISSION

To share the beauty of the mountains of my country Uzbekistan with people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I love people who love the mountains. As a mountain trekker I am interested to know how mountain trekkers in other countries live and do backpackings in the mountains.
Every week all seasons (even in winter) my husband and I do multidays trekkings in the mountains of Uzbekistan. The pictures are here http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/profile/1205213/
I'm on FB https://www.facebook.com/Viola.mountainguide

I'm a founder and administrator of the ORIGINAL Club of Spoken English (since 1999 y). We organize a lot of events and speak just English during them. /Each non-English word is punished/. For example: 300 trekkings and hikes in the mountains, 20 trainings with hangglider, fishing, theatre and dancing groups, 8 English camps in the mountains.
