I started traveling in 2007 and I have done more than 60 trips around the world since then. I write articles for magazines, newspapers and blogs and help people to plan their trips, so that they can realize their dream of getting to know the diversities of the world.

GEORGIA AREA MANAGER
Based in Tbilisi, GEORGIA
Hi everyone, my name is Kristina. And I’am happy to be part of international MEC Academy Experiences family.
I have master’s degree in International Relations, which I took at the Ural State University. As an exchange student I also studied international law at the University of Bologna. It was a period when I visited many countries and attended international summits. But being honest, I don’t like politics at all. So teaching English ( 10-years experience), traveling, learning new cultures and writing tales – that’s what makes me happy.

North Europe
CENTRAL EUROPE AREA MANAGER
My name is Sheila. I have always been keen on languages and everything concerned with the knowledge of a language, such as culture, history, art and traditions, especially Italian ones. In the last four years I have got to know and become interested in the Dutch language, having lived in Flanders where I had classes of Italian language students and did my best to disseminate our culture, which is undoubtedly full of history and exciting to discover, in addition to the Italian language! I think that getting to know other cultures is not only a form of enriching your person but it also results in enhancing the positive aspects of each culture. This is why I believe that I will never get tired of looking for new challenges!
