Adventures without limits!
My story
I am a girl born in Tbilisi, Georgia but brought up in Kassel, Germany. If you ask me where I am from - I will tell you that I am the world citizen, however my heart belongs to Georgia. A girl with adventures and no limitations.
Graduate of the Georgian National University, Department of Business Administration and Tourism Management and by age 26 moved to The Netherlands. And, that's where my adventures started.
After graduation and moving to the Netherlands, I realized that there was something more that was awaiting for me. I wanted the world. I wanted to see, smell and step on every island and be the girl who would share her stories later.
I have always been passionate about traveling, meeting new cultures and when I was a child my dream was to have a job where I would be traveling and working at the same time. Dreams come true. And, in 2017 I stepped on Holland America Line as a crew member and that's where my adventures stated. I became addicted to the ocean and the waves.
My first port of call was Half Moon Cay, Bahamas the Caribbean. Embarking from Florida, Miami the biggest cruise port in the United States, I realized the universe has been listening to the little Georgian girl whose heart is deep as the ocean.
After 9+ years of professional experience at sea and on land, I realized that I wanted to share my knowledge and experience with my Georgian fellows – in properly planning their travel and visa process for United States. Offer them professional and unique personalized services where they would not feel abandoned in the middle of the process. One of the creates things I have learned onboard with Holland America Line was to treat your customers the way you want to be treated. Have the empathy, listen and give them solutions. And, that is exactly that keeps me moving forward and help individuals, couples and internationals in safe travel planning to the embassy. Present themselves with coherent planning and facts.
My goal is to make the American, British, Canadian and Australian visa processes a worry free process.
Nothing is impossible! The main thing is a goal, determination, and proper preparation!
