Voice of Travelers to Almaty
Ticket for my history loving husband
"Hello, I am Regina. My husband was always aversive to the idea of traveling. He hated the thought of even buying an airline ticket. I had been buying for us to go to a nice vacation but he simply refused. I had to save up to buy a ticket to Almaty on my own. I took the initiative to plan a vacation for us that he would like. Being a history enthusiast, I knew he would love Almaty. I finally saved up, bought us both a ticket and surprised him with his ticket. I knew he would be more shocked than surprised to see the ticket but i knew he would end up going with me in the end. i was very nervous but he absolutely loved the architecture and rich cultural history of Almaty. Now, he keeps asking me what destination he should buy a ticket for. He is already planning our next vacation!
Lovely trip to Almaty
This is Rob. My wife Jen and I are travel bloggers. We have visited many countries over the world. For our last visit, we got a ticket for Almaty. Before buying the ticket, we had virtually never heard of the city before. However, we found a poster of Almaty in the travel agent's office when buying the ticket and really loved the architecture. My wife and I both looked at each other and instantly deciding on buying the ticket for Almaty. When we got there, we loved the Soviet and Russian inspired architecture. The place also had a European feel. The people were very welcoming and kind. The city is also very beautiful because of the mountains and its scenic natural attractions. We got some nice photography done. You can check out some of them on our blog.
