About Us
Take in a ballet at the Bolshoi in Moscow, a throat singing performance in Mongolia or a Chinese opera. A little too classy for ya? Then sing along to accordion music in a Russian pub, try a hit of snuff with your hosts in the Gobi Desert or show off your dancing skills on a Saturday morning in a Beijing park.
Throw yourself into an environment where you don't know the language, can't read street signs or a menu and have to navigate through two continents. Sink or swim little fish.
Cheese-ball I know, but see #2. If you can overcome the challenges of this trip, there's no way you'll go home without having gleaned some wisdom about yourself.
You might have learned about Russian history at some point in school, but (if you're like me) you really didn't learn jack. Russia gets a bad rap, but this journey will be a first-hand re-education about a nation whose actions helped shape the world we live in today.
Ever wondered what mutton tastes like? Craved a feast of traditional Peking duck with plum sauce? Wanted to try a Cowberry smoothy? (Ever even heard of Cowberries before?) Expand your mind and your palate.
