Thanks again for all your assistance.

John, I would like to say that your company is absolutely the best company with your personal service and class that you do with everything. It has been pleasant to go twice to Odessa on the tours and I am also honored that I had the opportunity to meet you during the last tour. With out your company and service, I would not have met the greatest lady. Please feel free to use the pictures of me and Elena to promote your company. I could not be happier.
We are actually talking about 7-8 times per day and I hope we have no trouble with the Visa. It looks like they are very picky about everything; but I have been in touch with Elena about getting anything they are asking for and she is very good about getting it back to me.
I will keep you posted on everything.

Beyond the call of duty!

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks again for all your help. Also, as per our brief recent telephone conversation, I wanted to share with you about how helpful my good friend Max, the AFA Odessa represenative, was during my recent trip.

During my last day in Odessa I developed an eye infection. The infection got worse in the evening during a date in which Max was my translator. Max strongly suggested that after dinner he should take me to an eye doctor. So after dinner my date, Max and I headed to the clinic. After the doctor visit we spent a lot of time looking around for an late night open pharmacy. After a few days my eye was ok.

I feel Max went above and beyond the call of duty that night. He spent a lot of time helping me and I greatly appreciate that. I also consider Max not just a helper but a true friend. His mother Anna is also a wonderful person.

Thanks to AFA I had a great trip to the Ukraine and Russia.

Best wishes.
Chris Lee

I have just recently returned from Ukraine where I participated in your individual tour..

Hello Jeff,

I have just recently returned from Ukraine where I participated in your individual tour. I must say that my overall experience was good, although I was disappointed a few times with the quality of the woman whom I was introduced to. However, I understand that people are people, and there will be good and bad ones in any place. What I would really like to write about, is my absolute satisfaction with the Odessa office and the individuals who work there tirelessly day in and day out. Both Max and Anna were absolutely incredible people to meet and work with during my time there. I was completely blown away by their devotion to their job, the long hours they worked, and how many countless times they went out of their way to ensure not only that I was safe, but that I was comfortable and prepared for all the meetings and introductions that I requested throughout my trip. They were ready to help with and solve any problem that I had. Both were waiting for me at the airport at 1 AM in the morning to introduce themselves, explain some preliminary details to me, and bring me to my hotel to ensure that I would have a place to stay that night. I have never had such care in my adult life. I cannot even count how many instances where they checked in with me(even late at night) to make sure that my date was going well, and nothing bad had happened to me while I was out in the city alone with a lady. Their interpretation service that they provided me was outstanding, and more than I could have asked for to make both myself and the lady feel comfortable speaking with each other. I simply cannot write enough about their professional attitudes and service that they provided to me while I was in Ukraine. Thanks to them, I am considering another trip to Ukraine using this agency so that I may spend more time with some women whom I did enjoy meeting.

Thanks and have a great day,
Ian M.

Going the Extra Mile

Dear AFA,

I just wanted to share with you about my last day in Odessa.

I developed an eye problem. During my evening date my eye got worse and my good friend Max, who was my translator that evening, felt I should see a doctor. So after dinner, Max, my date and I headed to an eye doctor. Then Max took us to a pharmacy to get medication for my eye infection. It took time, it was a lot of running around, but Max did it gladly. He was my guardian angel.

Max is a hard working guy. He works 5 days a week but usually works 7 days a week. I think he is a great guy and a very good friend. His mom Anna is wonderful too.

Best wishes.
Chris

* Anna and Max are the office representatives in Odessa, Ukraine

I have a lot of good thoughts for AFA and the people in the St. Petersburg and Volgograd and Odessa offices.

Hello Tour Leader!

I am sorry but I had 2 old fashioned kodak cameras - and - would you believe - BOTH of them were defective junk. I got no pictures at all - except those in my head and my heart.

My plans for the moment are to return to the Odessa region this summer(July) - maybe August as well...we will see....this trip actually might change my life...at least it gave me something to think about and I'm going to take at least one more chance at trying to find that special lady.

I have a lot of good thoughts for AFA and the people in the St. Petersburg and Volgograd and Odessa offices. AFA gave me the opportunity to see and experience some things I would never have dared to imagine. I can't wait until I can return to Ukraine his summer!

Wishing you the best,
Ernest I.

The AFA tour to Costa Rica was my first through this agency

The AFA tour to Costa Rica was my first through this agency and from the first day to the last, the trip was filled with opportunities to meet several wonderful and beautiful women. The tour was very well organized and the AFA staff was courteous and available around the clock for assistance. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking for a sincere, traditional Latin American woman. I would certainly make this trip again.

Thanks again to Gustavo and his staff,
Greg

I really like the idea of there being the same number of tables as guy.

The social was great. Definitely the best of all I have been to. I really like the idea of there being the same number of tables as guy. Each guy takes a table and about every 15 minutes Sandra rings a bell and the guys move to another table. Helps all the girls get a little time with all the guys and helps guys like me who struggles approaching women even in this type of situation get around to all the girls. The girls far exceed the profiles. These woman are definitly more attractive in person. . This may work out afterall. Catch you later.

Colorado,

I want to thank you for all of the help and advise that you have given to me on this great journey.

Peter,

I want to thank you for all of the help and advise that you have given to me on this great journey. You have truly been more than just someone that sold me a trip/vacation, you have truly shown that you care about what you do. I wish that more people in the world were like you and that they also truly cared about what they do for a living, as you do. You have been more than a salesman, you have been a friend and you have always told me the facts about everything, some of it was good and some of it was bad. The main point being that you told me the TRUTH!!! Again, thank you for all of your help.

Thanks in advance,
John R. M.

I’ve been waiting a long time to write you and tell how happy I’m for taking a chance with your company AFA.

Hello Ken;

I’ve been waiting a long time to write you and tell how happy I’m for taking a chance with your company AFA.

I recall my first trip to Cartagena; I took Avianica Flight from Miami to Cartagena on November, 8 2005. I was really nervous because this was my first time traveling to South America; we Americans know all about the horror stories surrounding Colombia. So as I was sitting on the plane trying to fathom how my excursion would play-out; it was this guy about four rows back on the right-side of the plane who just wouldn’t shut-up! He talked all the way from Miami to Cartagena. Once we arriving and disembarked the plane; I was finally introduce to you and the other lucky- souls in the group. The guy who wouldn’t stop talking during the flight; his name was Rick. Him and I became friends on the tour. He met his (Yesinia) soul-mate on tour. Rick and Yesenia were married on a Fiancée –Visas and now living in Colorado. “That-a- boy, way to go Rick”!

For me; it took longer to meet my soul-mate, because I like to measure the water before entering. I remember my first encounter with the AFA Web Page. While employed as a Property Specialist in Iraq; I entered one of my customer offices to perform an audit. I notice photos of beautiful Latino Women on his desktop computer and inquired about the site. He told me the name was, Loveme.com After finishing the audit in-which he receive all high-marks, (Me being excited); I return to my office and began to bower the web. I logged-on to loveme.com and immediately went to Latin Women section. My eyes were lit-up like a child on Christmas morning after seeing all his wishes up the tree. I couldn’t believe my eyes! As a child, watching Poncho Villa and other Western Movies filmed in Mexico; I’ve always dream of traveling to Central or South American and meeting my Latin American dark-eye- beauty. Well, I had just found an avenue to make my dream a reality. Viewing tour packages; I decided to book my first tour to Cartagena. After meeting your Staff, Kayla, Viviana, Mary Cruz and other supporting cast; I knew my stay would be enjoyable because of the hospitality rendered. I must say, my experience with the socials was over-whelming in term of excitement. I was like a “Chicken in a fox-pen”; all the ladies were foxes and I was too chicken to move. During my ten-day tour, I narrowed my choice down to one lady. We started on our quest for a long-lasting relationship which lasted for a year. However, through ours correspondence and me working in Iraq; the relationship went sour. Subsequently being disappointed; I returned to my old-trusted-friend, “loveme.com”. I would always browse this site when feeling lonely and needed an adrenaline-rush. As I browse through profiles; there she was, “A Rose among flowers”! I told my friend who would always share my favorite time of the day surfing loveme.com site for beautiful ladies, “She is the one!” He advised me to make sure and go for her. I decided to employ a new strategic; “Take it slow and easy”. I immediately started planning my next vacation to Cartagena.

On my second trip to the “land-of-honnies” (Cartagena where all the most beautiful ladies are congregated) proves to be a winner. Once again working with you invaluable-staff; they introduce me to my Colombia Queen. We went on our first date with assistance from another one of your “Star-member” (Nayibe) acting as translator; the evening was lovely and magical. We continued our wonderful relationship and three consecutive trips later; I proposed to (Adriana) my Colombian Queen on New Years 2008. We are now planning our wedding date which should be late 2008 or early 2009.

I must give all of my gratitude to you and your staff for turning my dream of finding “True love” into realism. My advice to men who hopes too find or meet your special soul-mate is; take it slow and easy. You’re going to be excited after seeing so many beautiful ladies, but you have to bring yourself off of cloud-nine. I know you’ll have heard the clique,” Slow your role”, Well, this is true, because you can never put a rush on love. Take time to learn her culture and establish good communication. This will goes a long way in building a strong friendship first and then a lasting- loving relationship. You will be elated!

“Happy-as-Heaven in Iraq”
Elvis

It was the most fantastic experience of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear John
You remember me?? You told me to tell you what I thought of the trip when I returned . So here it is... It was the most fantastic experience of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!. Helen was the most gracious lady and took care of every little problem I had !!.I wanted to take "her home" . Her "crew" especially Jay . were so helpful with me and my wheelchair and walker.. They were the best ,so attentive and helpful, all you had to do was turn around and someone was there to help you .. About the ladies.. My God ,they were the most beautiful bunch of gals I have ever seen in one place .. These girls were not "bimbos" they were nice respectful elegant ladies. But they did know how to have a good time and make us all feel welcome.. The only problem I saw with the whole thing was there were like 80 girls at the first social party,and I think 9 guys .. There was not enough male to spread around so the gals were very competitive .. I know a lot of folks would say . "how could that be a problem"? I was just thinking of the girls position . They went out ,probably spent a weeks pay for a party dress and getting hair all done up ,and there was no way we could talk to all to all of them . There were a lot that were too young for me, but I tried not to hurt their feelings . I wanted them to know they were beautiful and I appreciated them coming.. I found my new wife to be. She was one that I had been emailing for a few months. But seeing her in person sealed the deal for me. She in fact ,got up and sang a song to me at one of the socials. they were nice enough to allow her to sing and she brought the house down,,They said that they would get her a dvd of her performance, that was so thoughtful. soon as we marry,.. I am taking her to "Nashville" ,She was great.. You were right, about my worries of using the wheelchair due to my recent surgery, It was no problem. the girls looked right past that and looked at the man.. I never felt out of place These ladies really were the best and you should be proud of your organization , The hotel was as nice as any hotel in Vegas that I have stayed at ,and thats the truth.. They charged us for every little thing ,except maybe for the "air" we breathed , but that is their culture and we adapted . the service and food was impeccable. a real first class place to stay .. If I could. I would go back tomorrow John. Thank you for a great experience and the little promo that they asked me to do on tape, was sincere and true and I meant every word of this.
Sincerely
William K

"I wanted to presonally thank you all and the Cartagena Staff"

Hello,

I wanted to presonally thank you all and the Cartagena Staff for the wonderful Cartagena tour you put on in October. I really enjoyed my time there in Cartagena, it was very interesting to see the life in Colombia and it was especially special to meet the beauty ladies of Cartagena. I throughly enjoyed the activities that where planned for the Cartagena tour and Cartagena Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definite recommend the tour to any man seeking to beauty ladies who our marriage minded. I meet a really nice lady there in Cartagena and I look forward to going back to Cartagena soon.

Thank you,
Nick

"By the way, the women were absolutely gorgeous in Ukraine."

Hey Peter,

I had an awesome time. At first, it was a little awkward for me because it has always been fairly easily for me to meet and talk with women. On the tour, I had to overcome the language barrier. Everything turned out great. I would like to do a tour to Kharkov, Kiev and Sumy. From the look of it, there is not a tour until next year. Anyway, if I am ever in Arizona, I will give you a call. Take care, and maybe, I will see you on a 2008 tour. Take care and stay in touch.

Rick M.

P.S. By the way, the women were absolutely gorgeous in Ukraine. American women cannot touch them; an average Ukrainian woman would be a 10 in the states.

"The tour within the beautiful cities of Odessa and Nicholea has made this vacation unforgettable and one of the most enjoyable time of my life."

Hamilton, Ontario
Canada

Dear John:

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation to Peter King and his team who organized the Odessa tour of Sept 19, 2007.

This was my first tour and very unlikely the last one. I am planning to come back to experience the same great time and fun holiday. The tour within the beautiful cities of Odessa and Nicholea has made this vacation unforgettable and one of the most enjoyable time of my life.

From the first day I sent my application to my departure from Odessa, support and assistance from Peter's team was provided quickly to resolve problemsand assist me with my endeavours. I must also mention the wonderful work from the sub-team of interpreters that made themselves available to eliminate communication barriers and assist with administrative details. I thank them dearly and will never forget their help.

It was also very nice to renew friendship with American friends and will definitely keep in touch.

As usual there is always room for improvement in such a complex and detailed tour. If I may, I would suggest that the health club training room in the Odessa Hotel be included to members of the tour so that one can enjoy the health benefits of such a good club.

I would appreciate if you could share this letter with the appropriate personnel so that they can receive credit for their superior work.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to enjoy a great experience. I look forward to more tours with AFA.

Yours very truly,
Maurice G.

"I left a big piece of my heart there"

Hey Peter, Hope you made it back alight! I gotta tell ya, man ... No one here understands the withdrawals I'm going through .... the place (and, of course) the women are like a drug. You know. I feel now like you are a brother of sorts, kind of like Band of Brothers, just on the other end of the spectrum. Bob Fisher was right, he said and I quote, : "As soon as you touchdown in Vienna, you'll say; oh, what the @#%&!" And that phrase was the first thought in my head when I did.

Thanks to you and the Odessa AFA staff, I could not have created a better vacation even with my twisted mind :) Mere words cannot describe the affection I have aquired for the city, the country and the people themselves. I really feel as if (this might sound gay, but it's true) I left a big piece of my heart there. I dream of nothing more than going back! Frequent memories of the dinners, the commradary, of course, the romance all invade my day to day thoughts. In fact, the first thing I did on Monday was order Rosetta Stone for Russian. True, there is no hope for me, I should just move there ......

Really, I want to thank most of all, you. Doing something like this from the start is a little out of my character but you made me and I think all of us feel welcome, relaxed and helped us all have a good time. I especially liked your finesse when we sat wtih Marina, telling her about the bus ride and how I couldn't wait to get back to Odessa to see her. Nice Man! I owe ya. Also, thanks for inviting us to Max's b-day party. Another fun night, never to be forgotten. I guess that is what this letter is .... I could ramble for hours about the fun and laughs I had , but really, this letter is for you.

Thanks Peter. You deserve all the best!

I toast you and AFA for providing such an invaluable invitation to fun and love .... Salute!

On a personal note: Like I've said many times; I went for the party, but got something way better than I could have ever expected! Marina and I speak at least once a day, we write each other via e-mail as much and I'm planning a trip back in January. This girl is absolutely incredible. I have my travel clock still set at Odessa time, around 8 or 9 her time, I'll wonder how she is and then hear the phone ring. I walk around all day thinking of her, her smile and how much, unlike her American counterparts, I have complete trust and faith in her. Whenever I call, I can just hear the excitment in her voice and really that's all I ever need! Much of this I owe to you and AFA. There is some of me in there, of course, but still ... I'd like to buy you guys a round sometime. Thanks again ... let me know if you get this and keep in touch

Take care, Paul

"It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life."

Hello John,

This is the Email you asked per our conversation. I am Melvin Richardson. I took the Odessa, Nikolaev, and Kherson tour and as I said, it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life.
I cannot begin to tell you how professional, helpful, and courteous your staff is. It starts with the honest and caring efforts on their behalf long before the trip to do everything to help make the trip a success. Their help extends far beyond pay. Your staff put their love and hearts in their work. They are always there or get back with you for assistance. The staff gives you all the information on the approach to be successful on your tour. You have all the support areas set up to help the tour be safe and successful for the customers.
I live in Phoenix. The Phoenix office has been extremely helpful and I know some of the employees there. I have gotten information from Steve, Peter, and The ladies in the office have helped me with my package or email and other information.
Our tour! Guide, Lena was always there to help from New York and through the tour and believe me it was helpful to us, but she was busy all the time. There is so much we need help with in these new places when we get there to be successful. That is what keeps the tour guide and local offices so busy.
The support there is necessary and I must say that in taking advantage of your most excellent designed business plan, I was successful and very happy. I would rate your business perspective for the customer as the best in the world. I am 56, been around, and I can justify what I am saying. I advise any man considering going international dating to any of your service areas to take your tour, ask questions, and follow the advice given. By the way, the group of guys on my tour were great. They were like friends and family. We did our best to look out for each other. It was a good feeling to be associated with this group.
The ladies attending the socials were a fantastic group also. They! were friendly, courteous, helpful, and polite. Everyone talked! and socialized with the utmost of kindness. The hotels, meals, taxi discounts, translator help and discounts, insurance, local office support, tour schedule, and the entire agenda is amazing.
I want to thank all of you at A Foreign Affair. You have provided me with everything to be successful in my search for my future bride. Now, I only have to make a wise decision as to choose the right one for me.
You have my permission to use me as a reference any time you wish.

Dear John,

The AFA tour was very good. I met a number of wonderful women who were all highly educated, sincere and very beautiful. At the risk of sounding prejudiced, Russian women are clearly the most beautiful women in the world. The socials were big fun and just delightful with the multitudes of women that were very communicative and desirous of meeting all the men on the trip. It was very clear that we did not have fight over meeting women nor did we have to be super handsome or have a perfect weight, the women were interested in a meaningful relationship with sincere men leading to marriage. In fact, it was really impossible to meet all the women at the socials: there were really too many women and the experience was overwhelming. The concept of meeting women who were just joining the AFA search is an excellent idea. Two of the many women that attracted my attention were new ladies in the program. Each of the women made it clear that they were looking for a relationship based upon equality and honesty. Family was the second most important issue, and one absolutely gorgeous woman was very concerned about my parenting skills because she had a thirteen year old child, and wanted a real family relationship with meaningful communication between man and woman. Of course, I am still talking with this woman. And, here is the obvious problem, you are going to meet a number of wonderful women who are going to give you a real opportunity for a future with them. Although this has complicated my life, I am working on these challenges. It is very exciting. Throughout the trip, Valentina and the interpreters in the AFA office were very helpful with any need, and never hesitated to call women for introductory meetings. In addition, the interpreter Irina helped me secure tickets to the world class ballet-opera house, the Marinsky Theater. which is a great date and a wonderful lifetime experience.I made three trips to the Marinsky Theater. Overall, and it is said constantly, the only way that you really make inroads with these fabulous women is to make the trip to saint petersburg in order to demonstrate that you are committed to the process of connecting with one of these delightful women. You can talk and talk and write letters but there is absolutely no substitute for the trip. Although I had talked and written to a number of women, the possibilities for myself opened up with new women that were attending for the first time the AFA socials. And, you truly have no idea who you will meet unless you actually do the AFA socials in saint petersburg. Obviously, I had heard the same stories about doing the trip, and it is really true. You literally accomplish very little unless you make the trip, and you might even want to do a second trip because you will have learned about the valuable and helpful AFA staff. Sometimes, two weeks is inadequate on this significant journey. And, you can always go early and stay longer, and AFA will help you. I came early and found this very helpful with AFA meeting me at the airport to transporting me to my apartment, and then on to the hotel. The hotel is a great place to operate from because the AFA staff is right there to assist you, and your time is precious. This early arrival was great not only on account of the time change but also gave me the opportunity to meet more women. In conclusion, this is very exciting time for any man who really wants to change his life but you cannot make the change without making the trip: saint petersburg women are sweet, educated and very real!!!!! I cannot emphasize the sweetness, and the thoughtfulness of these women.

"Your company is exceptional in doing business"

Hello,
I returned from the July 18 Odessa, Nikolaev, and Kherson tour today. I want to take a few minutes to thank you. I know we paid for the tour, but I still want to thank you.
The reason is because you ( Peter, Steve, Elena Redburn, Max, Nodia, Helen, and others ) did not look at the clients as typical company employees do, but took time and interest to see that all our interests from questions and problems, to advise were taken care of. We were never rushed or put off as most companies do.
Your company is exceptional in doing business. It functions as a company should, and I would rate your company as one of the Top Five in the World. Please use me as a reference or in any way that I may help represent the endless efforts that you and your employees commit your selves to for the success of your customers.
By the way, I enjoyed the trip as the best time of my life, and it was due to your efforts and the screening and selection of all your male and female clients. The Hotels had! a commendable staff. Don't forget to compliment the bus driver. He was courteous, professional, safe, and helpful, just as all others in your staff.
We got to depend on you so much until we really missed your staff at Vienna. It was convenient with the hotel just across the street from the airport. The Ladies were even helpful to us in resolving some travel issues with luggage and directions. The ladies were most courteous and down to earth. Personalities were of the utmost in the world. Please do consider adding one day to make two days at Kherson, even adding enough to cover the cost of the bus and driver is well worth it. Many of us wanted another day, some payed more to stay than it would have costed added in the trip, and there would be more success because of the number of serious and committed women in Kherson.
Please feel free to contact me for any reference that you may want.

"WOW! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PLACE!"


Just a few words to say hello...
I am still in Medellin, this is my last day here........ I have two things to describe this experience...

WOW! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PLACE!

You really cannot overstate how wonderful this city is... The ladies are every bit as beautiful, sincere, warm, and sweet as you´ve told us, and MORE! Originally, I had thought I would just try this tour for a vacation and to check out if everything I heard about AFA and Medellin was true, I was amazed, actually, as how AFA understated how wonderful this this beautiful city is... There many intetesting stories of Success in terms of finding someone special that came from this tour, but, MAN!, the real story is how wonderful this town is and the people here in Medellin... this is true, not only from the woman we met from AFA, but all the women here are some of the sweetest, warmest of any place in the world... this has got to be the worlds ¨Best Kept Secret¨... I could go on for days about all the cool things we experienced on this trip, but, for one, I am certain you will recieve many other letters from the other men, and second, I just dont think I could adequetly express my real feelings about this city... For me, the overwieght, inconfident, pessimist, guy.... I met one of the sweetest ladies and she is beautiful... her name is Diana... I´ve attached her photo.. We really have been tied at the hip since the first day... The funny thing is, at the social, I never made it to her table... it just ran late and there were soo many wonderful interesting woman to talk to.. I had already met a pretty cool girl, but she had to leave early, however, as I was leaving the social, everyone was walking out of the resturaunt where the social was held and discussing where we were all going to go next for dancing... this is when Diana aproached and, jokingly, gave me a hard time about not coming over to her table... We ended up at the disco together, and danced the entire time, then, we went out after that for some conversation and have been tied at the hip since then.. Some of the others, did great too... One of the coolest stories is about the Tour Client who met a woman from the hotel... I must tell you, she is beautiful, and really a neat lady, they hit it off pretty well.. I am not sure how that well progress, She is soo typical of the women here all over this city... one of the funny things about that story was, that I ended up being the translator for them at one of thier dates... I can not forget to mention how wonderful the staff at Medellin is... Sandra, Mui Especial, she is the hardest worker, and absolutely sweet, wonderful and took care of everything including taking me on a personal shopping trip to the mall to buy gifts for Diana... But there where many more people on the staff here... Milena, Adrianna, Rownal, as well as the interpretors Rowan, and Diana, and the others.. man, this has got to be the best group, that AFA has anyplace... the service was just without a doubt, better than anyone can imagine... everywhere we went... AFA, the Hotels, the resturaunts, we found 8 Star service...

Thanks, John, Bud, Steve, Peter, Sandra, and everyone for the great experience... If there is anything I can do to help other guys needing encouragement or whatever, please let me know... because regardless of how this relationship ends up, I know that AFA has thier act together and I would love to encourage anyone needind the experience of a lifetime, to come here.. it is the neatest place... Kenny...

"AFA and Nizhniy (Novgorod) are a good choice"
AFA Nizhniy Novgorod Tour
After some time of using a tour company that will remain nameless I decided to give AFA (A Foreign Affair) a try. I am glad I did, some people will argue that this or that agency is better or worse to use. But after using the top two in America I can say AFA is much better. Not only because I found my true love on this tour, but because of the following things.
1.) Socials - The structure of the socials are much better then the competition. The quality of the ladies attending the AFA socials are much better and I enjoyed them completely.
2.) Ladies - I would say that if you are considering a tour, you MUST consider Nizhniy Novgorod. I have been to Odessa, St. Petersburg and Nikolaev. I will admit that the ladies in Odessa/Nikolaev are extremely beautiful. But as a complete package of looks, brains and traditional values. Nizhniy is just so much better then Odessa/Nikolaev. If I had a free trip anywhere today, I would choose Nizhniy over the others hands down. You really have to go there and see what I mean.
3.) Tour organization - In every tour there will be hiccups. It is a part of dealing with the former soviet union. But of the agencies I have used, AFA seems to handle them the best. I cut my trip a few days short to visit a girl back in Moscow and in only a few minutes. I had a hotel and plane ticket for the trip. Some issues I know were caused by the late train ride back to Moscow and the Hotel scene in Nizhniy is alittle outdated, but what do you expect from a city that has been closed to foreign people for as long as Nizhniy.
4.) General Comments - I think with what I have said above you should understand why I think AFA and Nizhniy are a good choice. I can only say that if you go to Nizhniy be prepared to extend your stay or buy a chin guard because most of the socials there your jaw will be on the ground.

"Words cannot express my total feelings about this experience."


Allright, here's my story:

My name is Dan. I live in San Diego, California. I grew up on a small farm in southwestern Washington State, just south of Seattle, in a town called Kelso, Washington. My father worked in a Weyerhaeuser wood mill there for forty years, supporting his wife and five children. I am the fourth child. My parents have been married for over 57 years. This is the kind of love that I have been seeking. I was taught responsibility at a very young age, taking care of the cattle, pigs and the chickens when I was just 8 years old. I have always known that God had a plan for my life. What I did not know, was that he would begin my plan in the Russian Federation. Test me on this!

I spent 12 years in the United States Navy. My duty stations were in San Diego; 32nd Street Naval Station, Miramar Naval Air Station and North Island Naval Air Station. During that time I was privileged to see many different countries on three westpac cruises. Among some of the countries were: Japan, Singapore, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Pakistan, United Arab Imirates, Australia and Africa. I have met many, many women in these countries. I am a very simple man and I have known many women personally. But my recent trip to Russia and the Ukraine totally opened my eyes up to the true hearts of women in our world.

I can tell you, without a doubt, that Russia and the Ukraine hold the most sincere, most beautiful and most gentle hearted women that I have ever had the pleasure to meet in my entire life! No kidding! I was totally blown away by their sincerity and true honesty. If you haven't been there, do not hesitate to go. I too was very reluctant to make the decision. It took me years to make my mind up because I was scared of the unknown. But now, after I have finally made the decision to go, I discovered something there that not very many men know. These women are what we, American men, only hope for in a wife. If you want to know what I'm talking about, you can call me personally in San Diego, you can get my number from AFA. I would advise you to contact John or Ron at "A Foriegn Affair" (www.loveme.com) That is all I have to say about it. Words cannot express my total feelings about this experience. I will marry a Russian woman! And I will never look at an American woman in the same way that I have in the past. There is no comparison!!!!!

"It was a very good trip!"


Dear John,

I would like to announce the recent engagement of myself, with Ludmila of Nizhniy Novgorod . We were engaged on February 7 2005. So we would like the profile removed from the available data base. It was a very good trip! I was happy to have had the opportunity to meet her and now we have started the fiancee process and I will be going back to Nizhniy in 3 weeks.
Take care,

"How To Waste a $3 Grand Trip to Russia to Meet the Lady of Your Dreams"


After many hours of internet access during a couple years and viewing thousands of single Russian and Ukrainian lady's profiles, I finally found the lady of my dreams - so I thought. We emailed occasionally and talked mostly by phone for over six months before I flew to Saint Petersburg, Russia for a 10 day trip to meet her in person during high season. A $3,000 dollar 10 day trip to Russia to meet the lady of my dreams ended instantly in disaster as soon as we met. I got off the plane where she was kind enough to meet me at the airport. When we met, I went to give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek she cringed and tightened up all over. I knew instantly it was over and we would never be a match. I would have gotten back on the plane if I could have. It took her a couple days to realize it. We did become friends if that's any consolation.

The point is I made the biggest mistake you can make by not taking a Romance Tour so I would have other ladies to meet while I was there or at least go at the same time as a tour so I could meet other ladies just in case it did not work out with the lady - and it usually doesn't. You really don't know until you actually meet in person, no matter how long you two have been writing or calling each other.

Bottom Line: Always take a Romance Tour with a credible company even though you will go to meet your special lady or if you go by yourself, ALWAYS go at the same time as a Romance Tour. If it does not work out with your lady you can easily pay a fee to attend the Romance Tour so your whole trip is not a complete waste like mine was.

I did manage to arrange a couple introductory dates through local agencies but it is nothing like just showing up for the Tour and being sociable to meet many selected, high quality ladies right in one spot who want to meet and talk with you.

I don't think anyone can beat an experience like that. Just watch some tour videos for yourself and you will see what I mean. I'll never make that mistake again. Don't learn the hard way like me unless you have the time and $3 grand to burn.

"I would have never believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes!"
Dear Ken,

I wanted to send a note of thanks for the hospitality extended to me while on your November tour to Cartagena, Colombia.

I was very impressed with the professionalism and kindness of you and your staff. They catered to my every need and I never once felt as if I were a stranger. Prior to going I was concerned with the language barrier as I do not speak any Spanish. With the help of my incredible translator, Julie, as well as your office staff, Kayla, Grace, and Arnold, I never experienced one single problem communicating with my dates.

I was also presently surprised as to how well we Americans were welcomed by all of the locals. Cartagena is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited and I look forward to visiting there again in the near future.

The girls I met were absolutely incredible. It is true what they say about Latin woman: they are beautiful, passionate, affectionate, and they love American men.

For the guys wondering whether they should go on a tour with your company I can only say to them that if they decide to go it will change their life. As you know, our group included men from many different backgrounds and from young to old. On the last day every single person did not want to leave. As a matter of fact, some even changed their flights and stayed longer!!

I can sum my experience up by simply saying I would have never believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes! My sincere thanks to all of you for a memorable experience!

Warm Regards,

Nick G. M.

"What a relief to find someone so helpful!"
Sirs, Just back from a business trip to Costa Rica and wanted to drop you a line to praise your man in San Jose, Gustavo, a.k.a. "Gus." What a good guy!! Myself and a friend just walked into your office there and he took care of us perfectly. He's very personable, speaks good english, is professional, and was very attentive to our needs. I met two very beautiful women, both of whom were very nice, and I must say I was impressed with the quality of the women I met. One was the most beautiful woman I ever went out with (and sweet) and the other was the nicest sweetest person it has ever been my pleasure to spend some time with. Honestly!! Because the second girl spoke virtually no english, and I no spanish, I had to have Gus go with us to lunch to translate for us and found him to be a perfect gentleman. I feel honestly I have made a friend of him as well. With his help, I got to know Maria and start what I know will be a longstanding friendship. He was the perfect translator and put us both at ease in a matter of minutes so that before long we were laughing with each other and enjoying ourselves. What a relief to find someone so helpful!
Anyway, just wanted you to know you have a satisfied customer who was greatly impressed with your total "package." Especially Gustavo. Thanks for the chance to meet two of the nicest, prettiest, sweetest girls in the whole world, and be assured I'll be in touch in the future.

"I wouldn't even consider going with anyone else!"
I took my first AFA Romance Tour trip this past August. I said first because I definitely plan on going on another trip soon. I must compliment you on our excellent staff in St. Petersburg. Tatiana, Michael and all the rest were very professional and very helpful. Any employer would be proud to have such employees. I must also compliment you on one of your interpreters, Olga G. Olga translated for me on 5 different occasions and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was always on time and you could see that she knew English very very well. After travelling to Russia with AFA, I wouldn't even consider going with anyone else!
Thanks again,

"Seize the opportunity for a lifetime of unconditional love!"
Dear AFA

I have wanted to write this letter for sometime now, but on this one year anniversary of taking your Cartagena Romance Tour I am now very happily married to a woman that I had met personally for the first time on this adventurous trip.

Although Disney and I had met online from your website on March 3rd of last year, we decided that our daily e-mails necessitated a personal meeting. The romantic city of Cartagena and your services provided the proper setting for us to develop a more personal relationship. By the fourth day of the tour we were getting along so well that we decided to separate from the tour and fly to her beautiful city of Medellin which is nestled in a valley surrounded 360 degrees by majestic mountains. Meeting her family and friends was an unforgetable experience that I will always cherish!

Including your tour, I spent five weeks in Colombia last year with the woman of my dreams. I have had many memorable moments with the incredibly helpful and loving people in many of the cities and resort villages of Colombia.

My relationship with Disney culminated in a commitment of marriage on March 3, 2004 and we continue to live our dream everyday!

Although my use of your tour was unconventional in the aspect that I had only desired to meet one woman instead of the multitude that you provide.......it was worth every cent! For gentlemen viewing your website for the first time and possibly they are unsure of the type of women this country has to offer, Colombian women are very honest, attractive, loving, appreciative and incredibly sexy! The women by far are this country's greatest asset. Seize the opportunity for a lifetime of unconditional love!

Once again, thanks for your invaluable services of helping me locate the woman of my dreams!

Sincerely,

Louis

"...The city and it’s people are awesome..."
To all at AFA,
I just returned from my trip to Saint Petersburg. I could not join a tour due to my teaching schedule but needed to go to meet my fiancée, Tatiana. The folks in the Phoenix helped me get my visa and were very helpful with other information. The staff at the Saint Petersburg office, especially Lena and Michael, were extremely helpful. They help with Tatiana’s fiancée visa paperwork and with getting my visa registered even though I was not on tour and was not staying at the hotel there.
I met Tatiana through your web-site and we have corresponded since December of 2003. Tanya and I have emailed each other on a daily basis since May and it was almost anticlimactic when I proposed to her while I was there and she accepted. She will be joining me as soon as her visa is approved.
I want to thank you all for all the help you have given me and, most of all, for allowing me to find Tanya. She is an exceptional woman in every way. Personally, I think that Russian women are the cream-of-the-crop and no man need look anywhere else for a life-long mate. Also, if you can make only one trip in your lifetime, make it to Saint Petersburg. The city and it’s people are awesome.
Thanks again,
Steve

Since my search is over, I wish to discontinue my platinum membership.
I will be visiting Katerina for a week or two over the Christmas holidays, then we will be married next summer, after she finishes her studies in Dnepropetrovsk.
Once again, thank you for a job well done!

"...Its almost unbelievable but true how many beautiful sexy women their are here..."
(Below is a testimonial, or testimonials, written by one of our former tour clients during his plane ride home. He joined us for a 3 city tour and had the opportunity to meet literally hundreds of these beautiful women in both Russia and the Ukraine. Picture yourself on the plane ride home after such an unforgettable experience; who knows, you may be thinking some of these very same thoughts...) Hi John

Thanks for the wonderful trip. I have some hard decisions ahead of me with three fine women to somehow choose from, if they choose me of course. I never forget that part of it ha ha. Here are some testimonials for you to use if you like. This entire process is something I strongly believe in with the way the world currently is. I believe their is more then just a element of truth in what I say.

This is an opprutunity for men to find a very nice wife that is due to the unique state of the world, we now have a very different situation and opprutunity different from anything that has ever happened before in human history. The different dynamics of internet, email, long distance calling, 70 years of communism and time warp, the prosperity and giving nature of Western men, the beauty, grace, warmth, family values, intelligence and education of Eastern women. Its only natural for Western men and Eastern women to find each other, the best husbands and best wives in the world coming together, it is the newest form of natural selection in our rapidly changing world.

The majority of the best husbands ever to be found in human history are in the Western World today. The rest of the world knows it, Eastern women certainly know it. Western women also know it, otherwise they would be seeking husbands from other parts of the world. Men now have the opporutunity to vote with their feet.

After the trip, going back to your home country will be depressing after being in a country which looks like a convention of super models.

I have been to Club med 2 times and nothing comes close to a AFA tour for having the best time of my life and it will probably change my life.

This is the only way to see a country, with the best tour guides you could ever imagine. These women literally took me by the hand to show me their great city with pride. I got to see life in the Ukraine behind the tourist attractions. Things most people do not get to see I got to experience first hand.

These women exude warmth, most are genuine but reserved. The best thing about them is they like nice guys.

Most of these women sincerely want a man whom will love them and love his family. This lucky man will most likely recieve much more then he gives.

The type of wife these women become is directly related to the type of husband the man is.

I wish all these women could find a nice husband. Unfortunately, I can only take one back with me and it will not be an easy decision.

These women attach a great deal of importance to a man's character, and if he is someone who does what he says he will.

I consistently discovered a 15 to 20 year age difference does not matter with many of these women if the man is healthy and young for his age. This was a pleasant surprize because what man would not want a younger wife. In Ukraine a 40 year old man looks about 55.

Going to the Ukraine is like getting on a space ship and going to a planet of beautiful sexy Women who have the personalities of friendly old grandmothers ha ha or Babasukas.

Its almost unbelievable but true how many beautiful sexy women their are here. But a even greater surprise is their inner beauty. A man must totally deprogram himself with respect to the personalities of attractive Western women. You must clean the slate, forget about everything you think you knew about women and be prepared to be amazed.

All our family and friends where there it was a really great day.
I Just want to thank you guys over there in the US, for showing me such a great time, in both Moscow and St Petersburg.

"...overwhelmed with attention from the beautiful ladies..."
I attended the April/May Cartagena Tour. I writing this email to recognize my interpreter, Roberto Ortiz for his efforts to making my tour experience a success. I don’t want to exclude Ken, Rafael, Arnold and Grace for their outstanding service and assistance during my tour. However, Roberto made my Cartagena Tour above my expectations of A Foreign Affair Company. Thanks to Roberto, I had the most dates in my tour group and was overwhelmed with attention from the beautiful ladies of Cartagena. He scheduled my dates and provided the ladies with feedback for me. My fellow tour members commented several times on Roberto’s attention to my welfare and interests. They all stated that they would use him when they return to Cartagena.
Roberto's personality was easy going and displayed integrity. This was my first trip to South America. I must admit that I had some reservations about South America and the tour. However, he made me feel relaxed while enhancing my opportunity to meet new people and visited places all times of the day. He provided me with detailed explanation of the customs and culture of Cartagena. Thus, my reservations disappeared quickly as I enjoyed the people and the beautiful City of Cartagena. I noticed that Roberto was more than an interpreter. He became my personal assistant, tour guide and best friend while I visited Cartagena.
Roberto’s current occupation (English teacher in Cartagena) and living experiences in the United States made all culture and language barriers non-existent. He taught me Spanish and gave me advice on things not to say while he interpreted for me with my dates and transactions. He took care of my safety and insured that I did not get over charge when I made money transactions with vendors. For instance, the taxi drivers complained to his supervisor, Rafael about him not letting taxi cab drivers at the hotel charge me higher prices. However, Roberto's loyalty to me and your company mission, making my tour rememberable experience; he continued to do what he thought was best for his client and your organization.
Roberto was so attentive to making my tour a success he made arrangements for my new fiancée to meet me at the airport to see me off. Roberto is currently assist my new Columbian fiancée with enrollment in an English class and completion of her immigration forms.
Roberto's services, loyalty and friendship were beyond whatever I could have paid him. Due to his strive for service excellence, I have chosen a fiancée in Columbia, returning to Columbia for my vacation in Columbia in August and will continue to promote your Cartagena Tour to all of my friends. I am an African American Professional, living in the United States. I believe in you service because I am one of your success stories. I believed so strongly in your service that I would be willing to even invest in your company if the opportunity presents itself in the future. When I get married, I promise to email your company wedding pictures for your website. Thanks Roberto, Ken, Rafael, Arnold and Grace for the best experience in my life.
Sincerely, MURREL

"...excellent beach, perfect climate & beautiful & friendly ladies..."
Hi John, I just returned from the Cartagena tour & thought I'd write a brief letter regarding the tour. I enjoyed the Cartagena tour immensely, it was the perfect place to go, excellent beach, perfect climate & beautiful & friendly ladies. Cartagena is not the Colombia everyone is accustomed to hearing about, I would describe it as a beautiful, tropical paradise & I hope to return at least once or twice by year's end. I going to recommend your tour a couple of friends whom are interested in traveling to Colombia. My Cartagena pictures have already changed a few minds about traveling to Colombia, or at least Cartagena, all said it looks like a beautiful city, & I agree. Your AFA staff in Cartagena was great, they did an excellent job on the socials & the other excursions, Rafael & the staff made us feel very welcome. The translators were great, all were good people. I would like to mention one in particular, Roberto, I have only say good things about this translator. His english-translation abilities & people skills were second to none. He made life very easy with the language barrier between myself & the ladies. He had a good intiution & created an enviroment of dialogue with myself & the ladies. One night, after a social, he put together a "Dancing excursion" with 4-5 guys & about 10 ladies that was a definitely one of the high points of the trip. He surprised me at the airport by bringing the lady (that I plan to return to see) to see me off, I didn't expect it, but it was great. When I return, I would hope Roberto could help me once again with my visit to see Yanin. I also would like to say I appreciate AFA for their tours that allow us to meet wonderful women of other cultures & see different parts of this world. Many Thanks.

"...I'm not used to having to turn down beautiful women..."
Dear John, Gary et al of the A Foreign Affair team...

Thanks for such a wonderful site. You really do deliver what you say! I have been a member for 2 months and I have more addresses and girls writing to me than I know what to do with. I'm a fairly good looking young guy, but I'm not used to having to turn down beautiful women, however since I've meet a couple of girls worth visiting, I've decided that I no longer need further addresses. Your site is great and the responses have been swift. Keep up the good work.

Please cancel my Platinum membership.

Thanks in advance, Steven W.

"... Just amazing ..."
Dear Elina and Ron,

Thanks Elina for giving me the CD of pictures at the airport. Also, for the great time I had at your two socials. Sunday night I met Julia and had a most wonderful time with her. She was so surprised during musical chairs when I ran away with her. And enjoy see her pictures with her and I. Even though she's too young; I still talk with her on the phone back her in the states. Your photographer guy really went nuts over her in her pink outfit. Also, Thanks for talking with Yulia in Kherson; she was the 20 year old blond with her mother. I didn't have the right feeling with her so I wanted you to talk with her to see what she was up to. Now she would now like to come to me and if everything works out she would consider marrying me. Wow. So fast. I talked with her because at the end of the night she didn't want to kiss me or even the next day. Later I found out she 20 years old and has never gone out with any one. She said she has 6 men in her classes and 20 girls. Just amazing. I have to go back again soon. I can't say enough of what a great job your organization did. It was so worthwhile going to see all the women and the country.

I see you and Ron and your two kids and think to myself I want the same kind of lifestyle too.

Sincerely,

Gary F.

"... an interesting and worthwhile experience ..."
As I understand I am only the 2nd Australian to complete this tour with AFA. And at the outset, I should say there are good-looking, romantic women in Australia, however these are just not enough of them to go around. In the Ukraine where women significantly outnumber men, you will find many attractive and romantic women. It will cost a few dollars but I think you will find this tour an interesting and worthwhile experience.

"... a golden opportunity to practice the long lost art of romance ..."
Hello John!
How are you doing? All is well here. I just wanted to again thank you for a wonderful trip and excellent service! Using your company was the best decision I have made in many years! I have started writing the book on my time there in St. Pete and, as a result, have spoken to several of the "boys" who were there. None of them have had any negative words about the trip. I hope to complete the manuscript in about 4 months and would like to send you a copy to peruse and obtain feedback. I have also, along with several of the guys, have began retrieving all necessary information to proceed with the paperwork to bring Oksana home to me and our future! I am very excited and have already spoken to her several times on the phone. We both are very much in love! I wish to thank you and your staff for dispelling the rumor and misnomers about the "mail order bride" industry. There is nothing mail order about the way in which your company performs its operations! The ladies are treated with dignity and respect and search for a better life with a decent man. There is nothing "degrading" or "belittling" about two hearts searching for love. Shame on the American media for bias and sensationalism! The hearts of intelligent, caring, and loyal women cannot be "bought and paid for". They must be won buy the gentleman. The only women I know of that can be bought by materialism are the ones presently occupying the nation we call home! This trip was a golden opportunity to practice the long lost art of romance. I have already recommended AFA to several of the men here in Idaho who search endlessly for what exists bountifully in Russia; loyal, intelligent, and sincere women! What a country! Again, thank you for all your help and understanding. As we all know, a business exists to make money, however, a sincere business can make money and provide an elevated level of personalization; AFA accomplishes both those goals! Thanks again John!

"...fast, personal and right on target ..."
Hi Chris,

It's been a while since we communicated. I want to say thanks to everyone at AFA for being what you are, so that Elena (41186) is brought into my life.

Many times I wrote to you, and a few times to John Adams with questions or seeking advice. Your replies were fast, personal and right on target. You even supported me a few times when natural disasters threatened to disrupt the budding relationship.

Based on the latest time estimates from the Warsaw embassy (2-12 weeks, but averaging 4 weeks), we expect Elena to be here in July and the wedding very shortly there-after.

It wasn't included in this letter I sent out today. But I have told every unmarried person that I know, about your services. I have also recommended your travel services, as well as your referral service to an attorney for the visa process. My situation is different; expensive and complex, because I am not in the mainland US, but a small island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. For the average person, your services would save thousands of hours of labor, frustration, and thousands of dollars in expenses.

Regardless, your services and agency made it all possible. It would not have happened without you. Thank you. Now, I share with you a letter I sent to close friends and family today.

Sincerely,
Chet

"...worth every penny spent..."
Dear AFA.
I went on the Kiev trip in September of this year and it was nothing but GREAT. I met a lot of nice women and have some really strong prospects for marriage. There were so many Beautiful ladies to choose from it made it hard to narrow it down. I have found one though and am pursuing her and will return to Kiev in January or February 2003 to bring her home to me. You kept your word on the fun and excitement and it was worth every penny spent..

I just wanted to take the time and say you are what you say you are. I was not a big believer in a "foreign bride web site". however, you guys made a believer out of me. i have been corresponding with a beautiful woman from saintpetersburg for a few months now. she is witty, smart, funny, and seems to be very sincere. we have sent pictures to each other and both of us like what we see. we keep talking about when I can go to Russia. I am sure I will make the trip very soon. we are both looking forward to meeting. I am sure the sparks will fly, because every time we talk on the phone you can hear and feel the anticipation growing between us as the conversations become more and more intimate. I look forward to using your services in the very near future to bring me to the woman who may be the love of my life thanks......

"Comparing Club Med to AFA is like comparing Joey Buttofuco to James Bond."
AFA,

I want to tell you, THANK YOU!!
I had an absolute blast in Yalta.
As a seasoned traveller I am very aware of the "behind the scenes" planning it takes to pull off the socials. I truly appreciate everything you and your staff did to make it possible for us to enjoy our time in Yalta.
Comparing Club Med to AFA is like comparing Joey Buttofuco to James Bond. At Club Med you're like a squirrel looking for a nut on Gilligan's Island. At AFA It's like you're on a premier wine tasting tour in the south of France with the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.
A "bolshoi spesiba" from a 42 year old, divorced, bald guy who you've helped get back in the game in a big way.
Thanks again for everything.

"...top notch and very well orchestrated..."
I recently attended the Crimean Tour in Yalta. Everything was top notch and very well orchestrated. Staff support and hotel services and accommodations were great. Yalta is lovely resort town and the beauty of the Crimean peninsula offers many a nice setting to take a lady. Last but not least the crown jewel of Ukraine: the lovely and charming ladies; after having met several very nice, intelligent, and traditional marriage minded ladies I have no thought about American women ever again! I highly recommend this or any tour that you conduct to anyone looking to meet many attractive ladies in a short time period.

"Half look like fashion models and the other half like movie stars"
Dear Foreign Affair:
Thanks so much your excellent website. If it wasn't for you, I would have never met my future bride Maria. We have been corresponding for about a year now and decided to arrange for ourselves to finally meet in Moscow. Moscow is a GREAT town and I would encourage any single, red-blooded American man to visit there just to see all the GORGEOUS women. WOW! I am told that the female to male ratio there is around 5:1, and after seeing the bountiful selection of ladies, I would agree. Half look like fashion models and the other half like movie stars. Beautiful all and they take care of themselves too, unlike the women in the States. If you're tired of women who think that dressing up is wearing sweat pants and a ball cap, you'd be in for a VERY pleasant surprise. Not to mention the level of sophistication and lady-like demeanor, and not a horrible tattoo or body piercing to be seen. Just all natural feminine beauty. WOW! again. Anyway, Maria and I met in early April of 2002 for a fairy tale week together. She was all and more than I could have ever hoped for and she now wears my ring upon her delicate little finger. Believe me, if I can finally find the love of my life, it's possible for anyone. Ironically, on the way back there was a fellow returning from St. Petersburg with the same success. We toasted and laughed the whole way back. Once again, thanks to A Foreign Affair for the excellent website and all the beautiful women it has to offer.
Happily yours

"The women are beautiful, sexy, and numerous."
Dear John:
I don't have much time, so forgive me for being brief and to the point. I did go with Gary Kryk last September to St. Petersburg, Russia. The women are beautiful, sexy, and numerous. I married Elena Ananieva last month. We are very happy. If you want to find a good woman for marriage, I highly recommend A Foreign Affair and St. Petersburg, Russia. AFA will give you great support and personal advice as to how to find the right woman. I enclose a photo for you of Elena and myself. AFA is for real. The women are for real. Go and you will have the experience of your life. Of course, there are no guarantees in life, but the worst thing that would happen is you will have one fantastic vacation.
Good luck,

The St. Petersburg area and the people are remarkable, much more than interesting. Elena and I have developed a deep and permanent relationship via Letters, phone calls, E-Mail and visits. We actually wrote well over 300 letters. She is a consumate LADY, brilliant individual, beautiful woman, and an absolutely fabulous wife. We are married, have been for months, and consumately happy. My wife now has her permanent spousal Visa, airline tickets in her purse, bags packed, and this Thursday August 16th arrives in Houston, TX permanently to begin her new life. Elena was a professor, teaching in St Petersburg until a week ago. Under the circumstances I must request removal from this list Since December of 1997 I have used & recommended A Romantic Russian Heart to many of my engineering associates who are currently your clients. Thanks again for bringing us together, your service far exceeded my expectations. Sincerely Yours,

"All you expect and a lot more..."
Hello guys: I was a member of the June tour to Saint Petersburg. To be honest, I was very skeptical of the statements made by your site and staff prior to the tour. But I figured why not, it would make an interesting vacation. I was wrong. Everything you stated on the site is 100% true. I fell in love with the city and the Russian people. They are much more friendly than I had expected and the women are not to be believed. They are as honest and nice as they appear. This is no game; they are like girls were here in the 50's. No pretence, no attitude, no baggage, just all girl. They love their country and family, but the men there are playboys and or drunks. So the girls are looking for a family man. I will be returning next spring to finish something I started on the June tour. I advise anyone who is considering a trip with A Romantic Russian Heart to go. It is all you expect and a lot more.
Thanks

"From all over the world..."
I was contacted and advised that you are writing an article and wanted to contact some guys that have used this service. I am not sure what sort of information you are after but will just jot down a few ideas and impressions ( probably more than you want as I can get carried away once started ) and if you want any further info. you can email me back.

Firstly I guess you will want some info on me. I am a 33 year old New Zealander. Education wise, I never went to University but have military training and 8 years experience as an aircraft electronics technician. I have traveled a bit and have worked briefly in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and for 1 1/2 years in Thailand. I have owned my own business a couple of times in the past but currently work as a Fleet Manager for a fishing company in Micronesia. I have never been married and do not have any kids.

With regard to their agency, I will give you a brief outline on the extent to which I have used the service. So far I have used the website to check out the catalogue of Russian women and to obtain addresses for correspondence. I have also used their email forwarding / reply system to send / receive letters to ladies in Russia. I have even been a part of one of the tours to St. Petersburg, although this was only 5 days ( not a full tour ) which I tacked on the end of a holiday in Ireland and the UK.

My reasons for using this service are many fold ( how long have you got ), but generally my current working / living environment and a dissatisfaction with the dating scene, and expectations of the women back home. For the last 10 months I have been living and working on a small island in the Western Pacific. While there are one or two pretty women here, I generally don't find the local girls attractive and there are some definite cultural differences which put me off getting into a serious relationship here. Also, not a lot to do here out of hours and I enjoy writing letters, so it passes the time, with the large attraction that I may just make an acquaintance that leads on to a serious relationship.

With regard to the women back home, and the ones I have had relationships with in the past, they have just never seemed to work out. Some are off on their own agenda and unwilling to compromise, or the opposite, no drive or desire to see the world or try new things. I won't even mention the women I have met who have been into the feminism thing ( or their version of it ) for fear of turning this letter into a novel. So the idea of meeting a woman from another culture appeals to me, with their different priorities, expectations and outlook on life.

Another reason for using a postal dating service is the medium itself. Often I have a problem in that until I start to get to know a woman and relax a little, I am not a good conversationalist. I get a verbal version of writer's block and have trouble making conversation. If I can get to a second date, I'm usually fine from then on, IF! However doing things by post is different, you can choose your words before you send them, and by the time you physically meet the woman, the ice is broken and there is some history there to foster conversation.

As far as how I have found the service , without trying to sound like I am being payed ( for the record, I'm not ) I can sum up the experience in one word which is Service. All the way from their website which is comprehensive with many features and yet very easy to use, to their tours to St. Petersburg, John and the rest of the team are extremely helpful and prompt in their replies to questions. For example it was almost at the last minute that I decided to include some time with the St. Petersburg tour, on top of an already planned trip to the UK. This must have been a bit of a curve ball for John as I wanted to fly into St. Petersburg a day before most of the tour arrived from the States, and leave half way through. Also I wanted to write to 4 or 5 ladies before I left to try to set up some meetings, and hopefully get a reply back from them, using the email forwarding service, ( all this, about 2 weeks before departure ). Oh and by the way John, can you arrange a Visa for me and have it couriered to an address in Britain. All of this was accomplished with plenty of email but no drama ( from my side anyway, don't know how easy it was for John to sort it all out ), and I duely arrived in St. Petersburg on July 14th.

Regarding the St. Petersburg tour itself, it was extremely well run, and Ron and Elena did a grand job of keeping things running smoothly. St.Petersburg is a fascinating place, in itself well worth a visit let alone with the possibility of meeting the woman of your dreams. Unfortunately I only had time to attend the first of the four socials planned for the guys on tour, but was enough to give me the idea.

For me, what really made the trip was a superb mix of a fascinating city, with the opportunity to meet some classy ladies. On the one hand you have a city full of history, Cathedrals, museums, art and culture; and then every few nights you are let loose in a room full of intelligent, educated women, all of them pretty and some being just plain gorgeous. And all of these ladies were single and I think most were seriously interested in the possibility of meeting someone for a relationship. It was surreal enough to appeal to my sense of humor; to be for once in my life outnumbered by women 5 to 1. The staff was good in this situation and showed their experience by often doing the thinking for you, "time to change tables", "come and talk to this woman", "you seem to be having trouble, here's an interpreter", that kind of thing. In fact most things are taken care of by their agency including interpreters ( available most times not just at the socials ), city tours, the hotel, etc. etc. It was very easy to kick back, relax and have fun.

As to how well these tours work, well I guess that primarily depends on what it is you are seeking. Like I have said, the tour is very well run and the opportunity is there to meet a large number of women, so if you seriously want to strike up a relationship with an attractive, educated and intelligent women, all the ingredients are there and their agency has done most of the work for you. What's left for you to do is talk to as many ladies as you can, decide which ones interest you and then try to generate some interest from those ladies ( and hopefully a phone number and follow up date ). I guess the success of a persons' tour depends on the individual and I can only really comment on my own experience. At the end of the day their agency make it as easy as possible for you, but it's still up to you to pick up the ball and run with it. As to my own success, I had a great time and even though I was only there for one social, I am corresponding with one lady, and waiting to see if another I met will write back. My other mission of getting a bit of a handle on the culture and character of the people was also successful, and dissolved my fears that forming a relationship with a Russian woman could bring along with it some major cultural hurdles and other problems that could rise up further down the track and kick me from behind.

And my impressions of the ladies of St. Petersburg, well I was very impressed. Generally these women are intelligent and educated; they are cultured and most have an appreciation of fine music, art, ballet, opera, etc, enough to make me feel to uncultured colonial I am. I was delighted to find most had a well developed sense of humor and sarcasm was not lost on them ( a point that stood out after my time in Asia and my present location ). Very many of the women are extremely attractive with beautiful eyes and nice complexions. Their accent was pleasant and many of their mannerisms and terms of speech were also appealing. I could go on but you get the idea, I am quite taken with the women there, and hope to one day find a soul mate among these wonderful women.

What more can I say, as far as their agency goes, I guess my best recommendation is that I do not use any other service. I have checked out a lot of others on the internet, but their agency was the first I tried and their level of service has been such that I have not felt inclined to try any others. They have a large database of women and many new ladies joining every week, so feel confident they can keep me busy in the letter writing department. Any questions or requests I have had have been dealt with promptly and their email forwarding system cuts down delivery time by heaps ( especially from here ). Their tour to St. Petersburg I can recommend, especially if you have a serious interest in a relationship with a woman from Russia. Even if by some incredible misfortune you do not meet any women there that you wish to correspond with, it will give you a valuable insight into their culture, way of life and character of Russian ladies. If you have any kind of sense of adventure, sense of humor, appreciation of culture and admiration of beauty, you will have a truely great time which will make a lasting impression on you.

Well, as I warned you at the beginning, once I got started it was possible it could turn into an epic. I hope there is some information here that you are looking for. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to answer them just contact me by email.

Regards, Steve

"On the fence?..."
By the way, if any of you guys are on the fence, I'm glad to offer my endorsement for the tour. I had a blast. I didn't get engaged, but that wasn't my objective on the first trip. I did get to meet 150 of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life. I dated about 6 of them, which was too many, but it could have easily become 26. I'm age 53 and it was hard to believe that so many beautiful women eagerly wanted to go out with me (I dated ages 24-38) and gladly offered me their addresses and phone numbers. I even had women I never met, referred by their friends, that called me at the hotel and want to go out with me. The Russian women are attracted to courteous men that are stable and friendly. They are apparently starved for these basics, which the Russian men aren't giving them. They don't blink an eye at age difference, in fact being a bit older is often an advantage. They graduate high school at 15, then get married, and have a 90% divorce rate by age 25. Russian women are wise about basic values in men, and so they mellow out at a much younger age than American women. Once you've tried Russian, you won't want to go back!

The agency does a bang-up job of orchestrating the socials, finding good accommodations, recommending restaurants, tours, providing interpreters and a socially fun and friendly atmosphere, which everyone likes a lot. Now I'm trying to do the details myself on a second trip, mostly for challenge, so now I really appreciate what a good deal the tour really is.

The socials are your best bet. You can spend months or years writing beautiful letters. But you make the strongest impression by being seen in person, especially at the socials. All the artificial limits women apply in letter-writing just fall away when they see you live and in person, ready to be fun and friendly at a classy party. (And don't forget to bring a good suit or even a tux!!) You and the other guys have, in effect, invited the cream of the crop. You have so many wonderful choices that now you can focus on important things like English fluency, humor, compatibility, education, devotion and commitment. These women go through so many problems every day of their lives that it is an honor to be invited to a delicious dinner with Champagne at a four-star hotel. These women know exactly what they are doing, and they are _not_ being exploited. When was the last time a first date offered to make you a home-cooked meal or to sew that little tear in your shirt? Makes you appreciate the basics. The socials are great and their agency has figured out the right way to do it.

On the Metro, even the escalator ride is a trip in itself. It takes about 2-3 minutes, and seriously, on every escalator trip you will pass about 30 Cosmopolitan cover models. They are everywhere. I was repeatedly called 'handsome' by these beautiful women, which was becoming infrequent in America. What a boost for any bachelor! I also made good friends with the interpreters. I got to meet Russians in their homes, eat their wonderful cooking, and I got a whole new perspective on what's important in life. None of the stereotypes I was led to believe for years about the Russians is true. On the contrary, they are the most hospitable, good-hearted, down-home, country-like people you would have to go into rural America to match. In short, it was the vacation of a lifetime. I look forward to going again soon.

"Tongues dragging on the carpet..."
Yes! It was a vacation of a lifetime. The city and people were beautiful! It takes a little while to get used to the culture change but when it comes to men and women they never change! All the guys were picking lint out of their mouths. Their tongues were dragging on the carpet and drooling all over their clothes. American women of this caliber would not even look at these guys! In Russia the women always show interest and conversation. Learn a phrase or two and the girls go nuts! I am going to live in St.Petersburg all of next summer. I will have a year of Russian under my belt before I go back. The Russian people love anything American including you! TODD CUSON

"An adventure of no small proportions..."
Just meeting one single, attractive, intelligent, Russian woman in her native St. Petersburg is worth the price of the trip. There are thousands like her in this beautiful city. It is an adventure of no small proportion that includes the best and cheapest ballet and opera in the world, wild cab rides, terrific romantic river cruises, marvelous sight-seeing, fascinating language and culture. There are differences to overcome, like the water, the Russian Mafia, the money, and the language if you don't speak Russian. However, an adventure would not be that without a little challenge and danger. The staff is open, supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful. They did everything in their power to make the trip a success for everyone.

"Angels in the architecture..."
I joined the group on Sept. 10 for the two-week trip to St. Petersburg Russia.
This trip was a fantastic experience. Some of the guys wanted to find a Russian wife, and some wanted to find a Russian girlfriend (or two) and just have fun. Either way we were not disappointed. I think two or three of the guys actually got engaged on this trip.
The parties were great, and the ratios were mind-boggling. Five or six women per guy, and the girls were young and gorgeous. We actually starting to complain that the ratio was too much to handle! (Women everywhere -- I kept thinking of the Paul Simon song about "angels in the architecture, spinning into infinity.")
The hotel was 4 star with your own room and bath, the Metro was a easy way of getting around, and the palaces of the Tars were a trip.
So, If you're thinking about going -- do it! A Romantic Russian Heart is run by a group of very hard-working guys who want you to have the best time possible, and you will.
Because of this trip, a Russian girl is visiting me over Christmas, and I'm going back again this summer.
So, do it!

"Politically correct at the expense of candor..."
The arrangements made cover a range since personal preferences vary. our agency provided (a) socials where eligible Russian women, with requests for specific individuals honored if possible, (b) semi-private group encounters, which is really quite good. (c) arranged personal meetings with specific persons (some women find the socials uncomfortable and prefer to meet privately), (d) assistance with one's own arrangements to meet individuals outside any introduction by our agency. With respect to our agency, so far as I could determine, and there was one fellow in my tour who was quite systematic, they are among the top agencies and the choice seems to be more influenced by personal intangibles such as wanting to meet a woman who lives in a major cultural center and so on. The chaps on my trip were all upper middle class with a genuine interest in meeting someone. The women were generally university educated and attractive with a genuine interest in marriage. It might help to bring photographs of one's house, neighborhood, and city. The reason is that the system in Russia generally had everyone living in apartments which were poorly maintained so it was sometimes helpful to have something like that to show the differences in lifestyle. A similar provision applies to personal automobiles which are rare in Russia as a result of an emphasis on public transit. I don't know what article our agency is referring to so I cannot comment on that. There was one article on such agencies in the International Herald Tribune (Natasha meets Joe) that I read while in St. Petersburg. My best general comment is that many such articles are the result of the current fad of being politically correct at the expense of candor, honesty, dealing with the hard truths of life. I mention candor and honesty since that, plus treating the women you meet with the full dignity and respect accorded by traditional families in the West, is appealing to these women.

Yours very truly,

"Thanks for for the best trip of my life..."
I just wanted to thank John, and all the rest of the staff at A Romantic Russian Heart. My November trip to St. Petersburg was an incredible experience. It was ten times what I expected. The customer service I received before and during the trip was more then I could have expected. I felt as though I was treated like a real person, and the sincerity from all was appreciated. The trip to St. Petersburg was a wonderful time in itself, but add to that the whole romance side of things, and it was well worth the price I paid (and this comming from an Accountant). Looking back now, it was easy to see why we were all so overwhelmed. To go to a very cultered city, to meet 100's (or should that be 1000's) of beautiful women who are just waiting to meet us, this is truely the experience of a lifetime. If anyone ever needs a referral, please feel free to send them my way. If someone is even thinking about doing a trip through A Romantic Russian Heart, I would simple say DO IT. I wonder why I waited so long. The personal service was unbelievable, even as to going as far as checking with each of us individually throughout the tour, just to see how we were progressing. I think I meet about 20 women I would love to bring back, but stuck with one. But as they say, "you can't always get what you want" so I am not sure if the one I picked will pick me. So I almost sorry to say, but I am sure I will be doing another tour next year. Once is just simply not enough. Thank you again for all that you did, and thank you for providing this incredible service.
Sincerely,
Dennis G.

"Too many women???"
I went to St. Petersburg with A Romantic Russian Heart last September. I have never gone with any other company, but I truly believe A Romantic Russian Heart is the best.
Their personal service and advice was priceless. I can only think of three complaints about my trip: (1) I couldn't get any sleep for the first five days due to jet lag and excitement. I went about four days and four nights with less than a total of 8 hours sleep. (2) I know you won't believe this, but there were too many women. About 1/3 are "put them on the cover of a magazine beautiful" and by the end of the first week, I was glad I had found my Lena and could just date her and not have to meet any more women. (3) I wish I could have stayed longer and spent more time with my Lena.
Listen, I could go on forever and ever. Bottom line is that I do not believe any other tour company could be any better than A Romantic Russian Heart. St. Petersburg is truly a place full of beautiful women who want to meet and marry an American man who would simply make a decent husband. All you have to do is treat them like a lady, be honest and sincere and the choice is totally up to you.

"All I had to do was act naturally"
With A Romantic Russian Heart help, I was surrounded by attractive, good women, and all I had to do was act naturally. The best woman in Russia is coming to America to be my wife. The second best one may still be there. Thank you A Romantic Russian Heart and thank you Irina.
