I am 20 years old and I have already visited over 18 countries so far. This is how my life’s story starts and many people declared they are envious of me. My name is Alina Voronina and I am a student, currently working as a travel guide in my spare time, which may seem to be in discordance with the fact that I have traveled to so many countries so far. How did I have the time of doing it? This is what almost everybody asks me. They envy my luck, but I must say there is little to no luck involved.Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of traveling and one particular city has attracted me more than anything else – Venice. I considered Venice to be the most beautiful and romantic place on earth and I have dreamed of once reaching there, maybe with my love, or even alone, it did not really matter that much.
But it wasn’t until I reached 19 years of age that I had the chance of fulfilling my dreams. A friend of mine knew what my dreams were and how determined I had become over the years and told me about Meets.com (btw following this link you can get you directly to my profile!). I have to say that the concept seemed pretty new to me. It is basically an online dating platform, with the sole difference that it is not matrimonial. All it does is to connect guys and girls from all over the world for travelling purposes. In other words, men invite girls to join them in around the world trips and they take responsibility for the expenses. It is only about fun, discovery and unforgettable moments that could shape one’s life. And it definitely shaped mine.
I found out pretty soon that creating an account is free for girls, since only men have to pay a monthly fee for theirs, and that all the profiles are real. There are no scams and no fake profiles and this adds up to the build-up of trust and security. I said to myself I needed to take my shot and see where that will lead me. After only one week of registering I met a professional footballer who was looking for a girl to accompany him during a road trip, along with his close friends. I was lucky enough to be chosen and he contacted me to go over the details.
That summer I have spent 3 weeks in Spain, Madrid, but we also visited a lot of the neighboring cities and villages and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
That was the start of my journey. Since then, I have visited 18 countries and dozens of cities around the globe and I eventually started working as a travel guide, sawing together the fun and the cash.
I cannot deny it, Meets.com has definitely changed my life completely and I am now fulfilling my long desired dreams, like I never thought I would. This is the life I enjoy living and I would not exchange it for anything else.
Last month I have spent 2 weeks in Venice and it was just as beautiful as I imagined it to be. If you want my advice – never let go of your dreams and dare! Dare to imagine and never forget – every journey starts with one small step!
