Aiperi was our guide in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in September 2016.  She was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful during our time together.  She shared her personal experiences of growing up in the 1990s and early 2000s, which helped us understand some of the transitions that her region went through.  Aiperi's English is excellent so we were able to communicate very well.  I wish her well as she further develops her promising career in tourism.
