Ina Gaydarova
As a natural-born traveler, I've been fortunate to explore more than 100 countries, yet Greece is the one that has truly captured my heart. Originally hailing from Russia, I’ve made Greece my home for the past 25 years, irresistibly drawn to its deep-rooted history and stunningly diverse landscapes. So, let me share with you the places and experiences I’ve come to cherish the most.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in turning beautiful ideas into unforgettable journeys in Greece, whether it’s luxury travel, family or couples’ holidays, solo trips with a touch of soft adventure, or relaxing escapes."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My love for travel was inspired by my mother, who often took me on photo road trips. By the age of 18, I had already lived in 4 different countries. As I grew older, I began exploring Greece on my own and soon ventured abroad. My greatest dream came true when I set sail on a ship that carried me around the globe for five unforgettable years. Now back home, the “travel bug” is still very much alive, and I continue to seek out new destinations whenever time allows."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"It’s hard to choose just one, but my 15-day trek in the Himalayas (Everest Base Camp, Chola Pass, and Gokyo Valley) stands out. I faced rain, snow, and a storm, and after crossing a glacier, I climbed Gokyo Ri Peak at 5,357 m (17,575 ft) at sunset and watched in tears the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, glow in golden light above the turquoise Gokyo Lake. It was a moment of pure awe I’ll never forget. Other unforgettable adventures include skydiving over Palm Island in Dubai, hiking in Kyrgyzstan at –18°C, and backpacking through the Middle East."
