"The opportunity to get to see this previously hidden country was incredible. to meet and talk with a wide array of Russian citizens is a marvelous demonstration of how alike we are."

Juliet Engel

"Russia has stolen my heart. The elderly with their smiles and warm eyes, the youth with their eagerness to learn about you but sometimes too shy to step out first. We as the U.S. of America have a lot to give. I'm grateful to show Russia my country through me."

Sande Mahoney

"I want to thank you for the most wonderful trip of my life. Never did I ever think I would travel to Europe--let alone Russia. You made it educational, fun, and emotional all at the same time. I think Michael was right when he told us he thought you were magic. Your commitment and love to the Russians is so obvious. They are truly fortunate to have you. The feelings I have about the trip and the Russians are bubbling over now that I’m home, so I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart."
