Assalom-aleykum! My name is Ozodbek but you can call me by my nickname "Freeman". I was born in Uzbekistan, in one of the most ancient cities of the world, in Samarkand. My hobby is to travel and learn more and more foreign languages, traditions and culture! Besides, I am fascinated by Islamic and the most ancient architectures of the world and my biggest dream is to visit Machu- Picchu in Peru and Isfahan in Iran. It’s always a great pleasure for me to share information about rich and interesting history, traditions and cultural values of my beautiful country. But as they say, better to see at least once, than to hear thousands of times, so I propose different tailor-made programs for everyone, who wants to visit gorgeous Uzbekistan! Looking forward to creating your dream tour to Uzbekistan!
