    Hello friends who likes travel and adventure,
    Our names Alena, Tatiana, Alex and Aleksander.
    We are living in Russia, Irkutsk city; our entrainment is tourism, due to we are living in a beautiful region - Siberia, 70 km. from the Lake Baikal.
    We are traveling during 10 years, 5-10 times in the year and duration of trips is 4-5 days, we know a lot of nice and without civilization places, some days at this places may charge you by positive energy for long time period. Every our travel to the Lake Baikal is adventure. We planning trip routs by ourselves, spend night in the tents or in a camping, cooking on campfire (BBQ).
    The 9th of June we plan to start our next tour to the Lake Baikal and
    WE INVITING PEOPLE JOIN TO US IN OUR TRIP
    but max. 4 travelers.

    If you have questions please post it here.

    Best regards,
    You know... Like British say: "We don't trust to the strangers. " That's why, during three years, as I'm the member of this forum, even those British who were at Moscow for Year Abroad didn't visit my town Sergiev Posad to meet me. And that's just 1 hour 20 minutes by regular electrichka from Moscow.
    And now there appear you and invite them to taiga, far away from civilization in the company of the strangers like you.

    Privyet Alexandr,

    Unfortunately what Paul says is true- the British mentality is very much distrustful of strangers, and many will question what motives you have by making such an invitation. I hope some people take you up on your offer though- I've had great experiences of Russian hospitality and would love to visit Baikal one day. Good luck and happy travels!

    Hi standreams,
    Well….
    At least, now I know more about British mentality,
    Perhaps such caution in this world is quite understandable.
    That’s why we are waiting the British to be our guests; I’m sure that if they visit the Baikal Lake ones, their world outlook will be changed. It’s quite unusual and wonder place. Fairyland.
    I hope and you will visit us!
    In any case if you have questions please ask.

    Regards.
