Join A Trip: 2022
Trip Information
2021
Peru, October 18
We had made plans for Peru, October 18, 2021. We are coordinating with local teams there, and hope to know more soon.
Russia, October
At present, Russia is still not issuing visas for US citizens, and even those who have a current visa are not permitted to enter Russia. Once Russia begins allowing US citizens to enter the country and freely move about, we will plan to pull a trip together.
If possible, we would like to travel to Moscow, Krasnodar, and Maykop – our regular October itinerary – plus any new areas that are willing to invite us.
