North Asia & Russia Specialists
The North Asia & Russia team have a wealth of experience in this expansive area and have all lived in their core areas of specialism - Japan, China or Russia - for up to four years.
During their time at Audley they have had the opportunity to re-visit these fascinating countries several times.
But they have also been able to venture to the more unusual destinations of Central Asia, the Silk Route, Iran, the Caucasus, South Korea, Ukraine and the Baltics. Their knowledge of the entire area is unparalleled, whether you are looking to visit some of the more popular highlights, or venture "off-the-beaten-track".
Covering such diverse countries, cultures and landscapes could seem like a daunting task, but each new area explored brings with it new, exciting challenges and fresh passion for the region.
