Uzbekistan Travel with Desert Nature, Camel Riding through the Kyzylkum Desert. Get to know the Culture of the People in a Mountain Village of Uzbekistan! Regardless of the type of Trip, it fills your life with Experience and Knowledge. Be it Master Class cooking Pilaf in Samarkand, Horse Racing in Kyrgyzstan, in the Mountains of Tajikistan or in the vast fields of Kazakhstan. During the Journeys, the brain works more actively. Adrenalin accumulates in the blood and makes us all happy. Psychologists conclude that it is a natural process when we learn what we like.

“Before you leave your home country for the first time, you live everywhere in this mindset and then you realise that there are many different people, cultures and mentalities”. This is what Lino Regusch, who became a successful chef in New Zealand with a project, says. For a successful trip, it is important to switch into open-minded mode. Look at the world with open eyes. Accept the customs and traditions of other countries. Try out everything that seems interesting to you, that one adapts to the surrounding reality without trying. In this way, we get a unique experience that seems to bring us up to date and naturally makes us happier.”
