Since this quite successful web site was lounged few years ago, the geography of my clientele has widened quite dramatically. I enjoy serving with hotel accommodation the connoisseurs of luxury travel from everywhere around the glob. Also my professional connections are widely international. I spend big deal of my time visiting these wonderful hotels myself, getting to know personally every room and suite, and - the most important - building close-knit relations with the best hoteliers of the world.
I have 18+ years experience as a professional travel agent, including ownership of a travel agency in Russia, and my current association with Renshaw Travel & Cruise Concepts, which is the oldest travel establishment in Vancouver, Proud Member of Virtuoso, Preferred Partner of Four Seasons, Orient-Express Bellini Club Member, etcetera.
The affiliation with Virtuoso represents decades of destination expertise, tremendous connections everywhere around the globe, and superb luxury travel product to offer.
As a part of Virtuoso, most respected net of travel specialists worldwide, Renshaw Travel is automatically placed in the top 1% of travel agencies.
I was born and raised in Russia, the country of amazing culture, stunning heritage and enigmatic history. I have degree in architecture and I do love interior design... But... well... I like traveling even better. As a consequence I drastically changed my career in 1994 and, since that time have been working as a travel consultant firstly in Russia, then in Canada, specializing in luxury F.I.T. and - more specifically - in luxury hotel accommodation. Yet, it is not surprising that my architectural background leaves a mark on my lifestyle and everything I do in tourism.
I have traveled virtually everywhere in Europe and former Soviet Union, skied in Alps, Caucasus, Pyrenees and my home Rocky Mountains, visited Camus cognac family for private dinner and paired the best brunello wines with real Tuscan food in Castello Banfi, rode bikes in Paris and Amsterdam, drove with friends through Romania and Bulgaria, explored by car, train and on foot every corner of Italy, worked for 5 star hotel in Bali, cruised around Seashell Islands and Mauritius, visited Portugal and Spain, Austria and Armenia, Ukraine, Germany and Czech Republic, Andorra, Dominican, Mexico, St Marten, St Barth...
I always do my best to make my clients feel they are very special guests wherever they travel, and I know how: I've been special guest of many of these places myself. My professional target is not just to meet all your expectations in a perfect way, but to exceed them. So, please keep in mind I'm one of those eccentric travel agents who are pleased to work 24 hours 7 days a week and do not hesitate to e-mail or leave me a message even if time of the day doesn't look appropriate for travel inquiries.
I work for travel. I love this job. It is cure when I'm sad, it is adrenalin when I'm bored, and it is fun which no other job can provide. And it is all about wonderful people who work for the industry, live in it, live for it, answer e-mails at midnight and make things happen.
Have a perfect trip.
With best regards,
