Olesia graduated from the Russian International Academy of Tourism, with a Masters degree in Tourism Management. She started her career in a small travel agency in Moscow, before moving to work in one of the largest tour operator companies in Russia, where she handled MICE and Group Travel for 15 years.

Her passion for travel and new discoveries led to the life-changing decision of moving to Thailand, where she later joined DTH Travel as its Business Development Manager for the Russia and CIS markets.

Olesia is a huge fan of Bangkok. She enjoys long walks around the various neighbourhoods, and diving into hidden local spots with good music and wine.
