Alina's Story - Alina Reyzelman

Alina’s Story

My name is Alina Reyzelman, and my mission and goal is to empower people and show them that everything is possible. Having grown up in the USSR near a beautiful countryside that one can only truly appreciate in person, I discovered a newfound respect for international cultures that both drive our economy and keep us connected. Today, I believe that anything can be achieved. The world is better known when travelled, and with communication across borders and oceans easier than ever, I can share my passions and findings with people from every part of the globe.

alina-2My desire to contribute to society stems from my college years studying business administration where a lesson in entrepreneurship lit a fire within. To start my outreach, I launched information services companies Elite Club Ltd. and Eat Well Co. to help empower others to embrace cultural differences and harness the power of information. Through my own stories, I hope to help people of all ages go after what they want.

In an effort to share what I’ve learned from my studies abroad, I came back to Russia in 2000 and started my corporate career. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, I embraced the economic boom and the power of change Russia was experiencing with the push of big capitalism. Through these changes, I landed in the oil & gas industry where I came to work as an interpreter and I learned more about the industry and eventually climbed the corporate ladder to Business Development Manager. I worked in an industry dominated by men and at times, doubted my ability to achieve leadership positions. Nonetheless, I pushed forward gathering experience working for blue chip companies, international conglomerates and industry leaders. After years of commercial business experience, travelling the world, learning about cultures, and what brings people closer together, I decided to launch a series of projects that would reflect my take on life, share my research on travel and cultures, and show my passion for the world, and people.

I love Russian & British classic literature, philosophy and political science. I am a strong advocate of tolerance, I believe in acts of kindness and the power of soft diplomacy fuelling me to find charitable causes building awareness around these initiatives.

Join me and follow me into the world of fascinating travel adventures, ethnic homemade foods, and gourmet cuisine, cultural experiences and philosophical observations.
