If Elbrus is the crown jewel of the Caucasus, Dagestan has to be the treasure chest. And who to better unpack that for us than our guest today Vladimir Sevrinovsky. A National Geographic editor and photographer, a filmmaker, writer, and tour guide, Vladimir has canvased Dagestan for years and knows it inside and out. And while today’s episode is focused on travel tips, Vladimir gives such a colorful portrayal of the republic it will interest anyone. But of course, as you’ve heard before, the invitation is wide open. We hope you’ll come and try out Vlad’s tips for yourself!
