Read about our journey!! Cultural and nature tours in Chukotka Operated by our partner Circumpolar Expeditions Whale and Walrus Tour - June/August, 2005 Senyavina Strait - June/August, 2005 Provideniya/Chukotka - June/August 2005 Kunashir Exploration - August 24, 2005 Jointly operated with our partners in Vzmorye, Sakhalin-Kurile Island Information Agency, the Center for Cultural and Ecological Initiatives and World Wise Expeditions Because we feel that Eastern Russia offers great diversity within relative short distances, we offer this program not only because it includes a visit to one of the most beautiful Kurile islands, but also as an introduction to what Eastern Russia has to offer. We begin in cosmopolitan Vladivostok, where we sample a vast collection of historical, cultural and natural wonders. We cross over from the mainland to Sakhalin, offering a picture of soviet style villages and towns settled between verdant sloping mountains, fast running rives and magnificent lakes. The main portion of our time will be spend on Kunashir Island, the "black pearl" offering a multitude of one of a kind natural experiences, after which we visit charming and visually attractive Khabarovsk. For detailed information see our details on the Sakhalin Region . Giving the Ancient a Modern Voice - Discover ancient rites and traditions of Russian Far East native cultures, August 2, 2004 As our lives in our western culture become more and more centered on technology, we realize that we are loosing our innate wisdom connected to our natural environment. At the same time indigenous cultures in Russia are trying to retain their ancient rites and traditions to anchor their culture and to instill in the younger generation a clear sense of identity. Sharing our lives may perhaps gives us both the right way to reestablish ourselves drawing from nature that which is our essence. We will visit with Even, Koryak and Ittlmen women during the International Aboriginal Day in Anavgai in Kamchatka. We will then return to the Khabarovski Krai, which has the largest number of native cultures in Russia. There we will share our thoughts with the Orochi, Nanai and Udeghe people when we visit their individual villages. This trip includes travel by local transportation and living locally adapting to the ways of the local people. You need to be extremely flexible, be in excellent health and have the ability to withstand long road trip. Some of our travel will be by helicopter. Arrival and departure point is Khabarovsk. All transportation including local flights or helicopter transportation is included. Itinerary will be posted shortly.

Cheap Travel Insurance Cheap

Cheap Travel Insurance, Cheap Insurance, Low Cost Travel Insurance, Discount travel insurance Home > Travel Resources > Cheap Travel Insurance Cheap Travel Insurance Lets' assume that you travel extensively around the world each year on business. Or, you are the head of the Human Resources Department of a multinational company that has executives in Brazil one week, Las Vegas the next, and back at Head Office the week after that. In both scenarios you're sure going to want to fine cheap travel insurance; or at least, cheap compared to the current market rate for single journey trips. So, how can you arrange this? The Annual Premium The answer to your cheap travel insurance problems may well lie with the annual premium travel insurance policy. Unlike other mainstay insurance policies that cater for single trips, such as the bundled, customized, or even flexible, travel insurance, annual premium travel insurance policies insurance travelers on their global travel for a period of one year from the day that the policy is take out. As an individual business traveler, this may seem a little excessive. But here's the catch, all you need to do is determine how many times you think you may be traveling in any given year and if you decide that you may be traveling more than 3 times on business that year, there's an above average chance that taking out an annual premium insurance policy is going to work out a lot cheaper for you than if you take out a series of individual packages. If you are the head of a Human Resources Department, then the appeal of annual premium travel insurance cover is even more attractive as you can easily negotiate with the insurance provider to provide you with annual travel insurance in the name of the company; regardless of who is travelling on company business. The costs savings to your company could be huge. Of course, you would need to check the policy carefully to ensure that one-off trips to, say, the North Pole are covered (assuming your company will be doing business in the North Pole this year). But even where there are limitations and exemptions clauses, and where your company may need to still take out single trip insurances (for example, traveling to the Sudan may need additional cover!), it is still likely that this type of insurance policy will work out a lot cheaper for your company. The Retiree and the Annual Premium A final category of travelers that may well benefit from cheap annual premium travel insurance are retirees. More and more these days retirees like to spend a considerable part of their time traveling around the world taking in all the different sites - whether that be on a ship as part of a round the world cruise - or as tax exiles just plane hoping. Fop such travelers the annual premium travel insurance policy could be a lot less expensive than taking out single trip insurance. And here the clincher - for a retiree looking to travel for more than 6 months out of the year, it is extremely likely that an annual premium insurance is going to work out a cheap insurance for them - even where their 6 months trip is going to be part of one excursion!
