Tourism Ukraine | Travel Expo!
good morning guys from kiev ukraine today i'm at the travel expo so this is going to be the international expedition center here in kiev and i'm gonna go inside show you guys around and this will be a surprise speaker on the panel what do you mean let's go take a look so we need a rapid covid test to enter says i don't have my vaccine yet certificate please they push it like that chocolate fried chicken okay uh it's so fast the problem is they called and stamped maybe like five or ten people that definitely came after me during this time so naturally i started to freak out a bit and i couldn't really understand what they're saying they're speaking mostly ukrainian a little bit of russian or sherzik which is actually a combination of the two and i just kept thinking it would be me next but it would be victoria and igor and all these people being called that clearly came in after me and she just kept pushing my uh my test to the side and i was freaking out thinking i definitely have covered and i'm not gonna get in i'm gonna go be put into a 14 day quarantine somewhere and with every single one they got stabbed and given away my fear just keeps going higher and higher especially because i would recognize these people who came in and mine would get pushed so for whatever reason the first test didn't work we didn't swap you know i guess it's kind of the balance between something too hard it's not too low so i'll take it again i was freaking out for a second hopefully this sounds okay he showed us that thank god again hello again can you give me your pen that's for two days of exhibition so guys pass the rapid cover test just took a few minutes it's free it's pretty easy so now that i've got my bracelet i'm gonna go inside here we go special bushwick and here we go guys created by egypt created by one of these groups it's bigger than i expected actually all right guys the last time i was at one of these expos it was probably it was comic-con i guess but before that like business ones in the u.s i just have to go to them for work and in the u.s you get a bag of free stuff like t-shirts pens like you know random crap that they just give they spend so much money on promo items in ukraine i doubt i'm really adopting the giveaway stuff it's not like part of the culture it's probably good it's less wasteful but it would be nice to get some free swag but in 10 minutes i need to prepare for the panel talk so we go to the conference hall 17. you made it it's funny a lot of this is completely empty except for the maldives line this one is completely full i think every single person wants to go to the maldives because it's sunny and hot literally this is the only line in the entire place or maybe it's because they're giving away free bags or something ah it's like a book modi's book travel book oh okay and bank okay okay so turns out everyone wants this like catalog this beautiful catalog and bag from all movies have you been before have you been to maldives before yes yes yeah yeah no oh man so i think people just like these catalogs and people just have this fascination all these i'm sure in the us is the same but here it's even more just like oh my dudes but i've actually been in all these guys it's beautiful but it's boring unless of course you guys go scuba diving then it is one of the best places on earth to see and swim with wild dolphins manta rays sharks and millions of tropical fish so you're gonna see the most fish you've ever seen i actually want to visit egypt i don't know what these guys sell nice books just beautiful promos oh and there's a talk going on our welcome speeches and we would like to invite mr ahmed yusuf of egyptian tourism promotion board deputy ministry of tourism of the republic of cyprus history bangkok from william henry ambassador of argentina to ukraine tourism organization of ukraine represented in of poland in ukraine mr david sitting right here mr rainco director of formation national tourism board right yes good thanks yeah uh how is tourism sector organized in south africa uh management of tourism center organized in south africa which is one of the most famous destinations globally for overseas tourists from europe from america from asia thank you very much the moderator the organizers all the stakeholders of the tourism industry of my colleagues that i have commented on this part we're looking at the uniqueness of the people of south africa we have diverse focus official languages and of course when it comes to tourism uh more of those languages there are many more there are even languages that could be a handful of people who speak and of course all of them so the diverse kitchen that goes with it is very interesting we're talking about wines that are very famous we have the longest wine room or placing one route in the world so i've also been to south africa and i really liked it not only was there the cool animals and the safari the culture the food there was amazing you've ever had a braai which is a south african barbecue delicious they really know how to make meat and it's one of the food places in the world you can see lions and cheetahs and you know basically all the big animals in the wild in cape town you have beautiful like beaches with penguins and you have amazing wine as well so really cool place to visit but super dangerous unfortunately so i can't really recommend south africa to most people so there's a bit of a live stream action and actually a really nice setup this is really professional you have all the travel agents posing from the maldives side feel like every single person in the egyptian government want an excuse to come to ukraine all right so it's about 12 30 and people are

and the panel is going to be worth me coming but i promise so that's why i'm back it looks like there's something going on already it's a lot more people's way actually all right guys so it turns out that this main stage is for travel agents today so we're going to be in a hall upstairs hopefully people will know to go there between ukrainian english language yes because we have one of the speakers who is from another country the rest are both from ukraine so let me i don't think we need that one that's okay um so first of all my name is horace i'm from ukraine i visit over 120 countries around the world and i make travel my fashion my coffee and my business yes then we have johnny fd johnny hello hello privit is one of the most known digital nomads in the world digital nomad is separable it's basically people who travel and work at the same time and he decided to settle down in ukraine after visiting how many countries about 50. the more it's a big honor to have you here right uh all his entire adult life in the public sector like government local administration and so on and finally decided to follow the dream and make the travel company oh congratulations and i would like to start with the short questions to our speakers and let's start with johnny johnny like what made you set on the road and like like why did you decide to combine travel and then like your professional life okay um johnny i will speak in english if my russian and ukrainian is so bad but maybe he can translate here but basically i had a very good life living in california i had a good job and a nice car i was living in a nice place and when i first took my first trip um about 12 years ago in 2008 i went to thailand has anyone here been to thailand before and you liked it yeah it was amazing and uh if anyone hasn't been yet i would recommend you put it on your list of places you will visit to the future and when i went i realized this is amazing you know it's uh good good weather it's always sunny the food is really good everything is cheap and you have all these activities that you cannot do in your home regardless if it's the us or ukraine scuba diving has anyone here been diving before uh in the red sea also not far you can go diving that's really nice so here's one of the best boxes in the world yeah so there's all these opportunities but even growing up in california and having a good life i never got to experience it until i started to travel and that's when i realized this is something i want to do for the rest of my life and i needed a way to be able to afford to travel so i realized i have to award the wild job and that's exactly what i did guys for four years i worked as a dive guide as a dive master and then weekly as an instructor which ironically killed my passion for diving because paddy is a soul-sucking corporation but as a dive master as a guide i saw some really cool things like sharks and turtles and i got to dive all around the world and it really sparked my interest for traveling and working remotely in the world andrei why did you decide to travel while working on a serious prestigious job like what else did you had so by the time i finish university i have visited around 30 countries uh only in europe then when i finished university i uh applied for a couple of internships in poland croatia and india where i spent five a month so i was practicing law in different international companies there and when i came back to ukraine i started working as a lawyer in the international human rights topic but then it's only four months that i was working there and i understood that law doesn't have to do anything with justice and in ukraine a good lawyer knows a law but a great lawyer knows a judge and these are not the principles i'm actually i would like to follow right i'm more a clear and easygoing and transparent person so i decided okay if i want this freedom to travel and i cannot pursue this through my international legal career i should find another way and another way it was through uh blogging so i started the first website called ukrainetrollsecrest.com which was the online travel guide in english language around ukraine which was very lucky in terms of timing because it was just before the european football championship 2012.
so i started receiving many orders from tourists and was earning money as a regular travel services then when the war started in 2014 all the tourists stopped coming to ukraine so i had to switch to other topics and since i know since i knew then how to develop an online project i made the ukrainian language blog about the world about traveling about some self-help topic some practical psychology and i started selling pdf do online training courses and writing materials for other online platforms and eventually step by step i build up expertise in online promotions and became developed myself as an expert in digital nomad topic and uh promoting products and services online which uh like moved my career into business consulting online and that's basically the main area i'm doing at the moment on a much larger scale that in the very beginning and this enabled me to travel and at the moment i've been to exactly 128 countries around the world so that's that's that's a long story short so i don't earn on traveling itself but traveling is the way that helps me in the self-promotion and this that which gives me energy to do the real work that that's kind of the balance work like this okay i'm married but without children yet you i am without children and without marriage um foreign all right guys i just finished my talk on the panel these are the other speakers that were there and overall actually i think i think they're pretty good i think they've been pretty good right people were pretty happy my speak absolutely it was confusing though because it was instructive some people were speaking some people were speaking russian some people were speaking ukrainian and then switching to russian and then back to ukrainians i was so confused but overall i think everybody's good all right and that was it what do you think of the event i think it went better than we expected in the very beginning yeah yeah when they first i first found out they moved us to the small room i was like this is gonna be nobody there but it was a pretty good crowd there's like 20 something people absolutely yeah because there was a like special guest and a superstar which attracted people probably yeah who knows yeah i wonder how many of them understood me but anyways see you guys next year hope you enjoyed it active social life like many friends with whom you think something can so on here yeah maybe too much
