A Foreign Affair Reviews | Client Reviews

John,

Thanks for letting me go to the social in Kharkov.

The September 2021 social in Kharkov was great. It's like the pandemic never happened. In fact, with the economic effects of the pandemic, there was even more interest in foreign men.

John A. From New York

Hello and Good Morning John,

I arrived comfortably in Odessa yesterday and someone affiliated with your AFA-Odessa office met me outside of the airport as I was expecting, and took me to my hotel Londonskaya.

I don't want to bore you and take too much of your time, but I felt compelled to let you know something you presumably already know....

I was blown-away by the AFA office and staff there; very professional and it gave me a feeling I might do well and have much success when the official tour starts in two days from today.

Not like the mistake I made in Ukraine back last year in July 2020 in Nikoleav!

Already, numerous friends and guys around the world are very curious about the experience I have had and I will be having in the next few days to come.

I have no plans to overstep my boundaries with all the experience I have with Ukraine and the Slovic women, where I am sure all the men attending this September Odessa tour are in good-hands with the AFA staff, including Joe, who I have never met before.

Best regards,

Leo A.

I wanted to call out the exceptional patience of Liz during my many inquiries and concerns as a new member. This is a new avenue for me and my apprehensiveness was allayed by her perspectives and experience.

Hi John, Met my wife, Maryna, 14 years ago in Odessa on a tour with a group of most memorable gentlemen with AFA, and wish to share our continued successes with the most recent Blessing of our son. Always stand bold and proud of what AFA has to offer; bringing families together through the unique combination of love, adventure and fantastic memories. Thank you and all of your staff - then and now. YOUR WORK TRANSCENDS GENERATIONS

Paul B.

Just a quick thank you, this month celebrating 20 years of marriage with the woman I met on your Kiev tour 4/2001.

Thank you

Michael B.

John,

You were right, this was the best vacation I ever took.

I went with the mindset to have fun, see some sights, and meet women.

And I met a lot of women. It was a lot to process, but I'm an expert communicator and was able to find a few to focus on.

In Kharkov, I met XXXXXX. She is awesome, speaks English, great talk about life, philosophy, art, theatre, family, and much more.

After meeting her, I spent the next 13 days with her. We took a mini vacation to Odessa and had a great time with one another.

I have booked my next airline ticket to Kharkov, and leaving next week Wednesday to spend two and a half weeks with her.

I don't know where this is going, but it's a wonderful experience.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Matthew G.

More then satisfied with overall experience! I have nothing but positive remarks! I would highly recommend AFA to friends!

Best regards!

John

By the way, it has been a great pleasure to work with Margarita, here in the Dnipro region.

She provides timely responses, makes date arrangements promptly and answers my questions very quickly!

I enthusiastically recommend her for a promotion or salary increase, when such matters are discussed! :)

Cheerfully,

Rick W.

Hi my friend!

Well, it's been a nice week here in Kyiv. Went to a fabulous resort on the river yesterday. I will find out the name of it and send it to you in email later. I would highly recommend it; beats even what I've experienced at ODS Arkadia for attentive service and high quality food/bevs etc. pool, beach -many options for "accommodations" for lounging. It aint cheap; but its top drawer, Anna even have a great "wandering" saxophonist that can really belt out the tunes!

I had very nice meetings with a few ladies and the staff here were VERY helpful and professional.

Llyudmilla and Victoria are both excellent translators and Llyudmilla is assisting me to get my Covid test before KBP fly out on Wed. Llyudmilla speaks good Spanish too! We speak it to each other when we want to talk in "secret" over here. haha

Have a safe trip o'er and a GREAT tour! Tell John and Tanya howdy too!

Adios!

John P.

Gustavo,

Thank you very much!

I'm glad you were there. She wanted to speak/hear in her native tongue. The interpretation was quick...and it sounded like you included all my thoughts. I am impressed!

I am interested in Kumi and I will setup another call...if she wants to talk some more.

Thank you Gustavo and all who made this happened.

Bart

John, we're a strong community. I know you're the owner of AFA, but, it belongs to all of us. For those of us that choose to participate and advocate so strongly for the opportunities, and really, the lifestyle that being a part of AFA provides, we can see and feel the difference in our lives and the lives of those whom become our AFA family. When there's a success story, we all raise a glass and celebrate that amazing new beginning. When there's a tragic loss like this one, we should all feel it and we should all get behind and support the loved ones still hurting. This may be just one man's opinion, but, just like David is probably doing, I know if it were me, I'd be smiling down and grateful if the same was done for my wife and little ones left behind by me.

Sorry for the long winded response but this AFA family really does mean a lot to me.

Ernest

Hi John. Loving my stay here and even more enjoyable the the efforts of your rep Natalya from Poltava who brought the IMBRA form which Vita and I signed.

Very pleased John and very safe here in Kharkov. But what a long way to get here. Was advised to see about flying through Warsaw. He will pick me up the next time in Kyiv and meet at the airport and drive me to Poltava which will be the next trip in October.

Thank you again,

Mike O.

John and Tanya

I am sitting here at the airport in Chicago waiting for my last flight of the day but wanted to give you an update. My 10 days in Ukraine are behind me. As I loom back over the trip I wanted to thank each of you for your support in my search.

I especially wanted to let you know what an honor and joy it was for me to work with Larissa. As soon as we realized that the woman I went to meet was much different in person, she really buckled down and was amazing. I think I met 11 different women. I had two dates with one and was invited on 4 more that didn't work out. I have the contact information for most of them, should I choose to pursue anything.

Not only did Larissa find me more dates in just a few short days, each of them were good matches for me. She was also a very wise and thoughtful advisor as I considered my options. Plus, she took great care of me. Always making sure I was in the right place at the right time. I think that you are very lucky to have her as a part of your AFA team.

I am not yet sure where all of this will lead me but I wanted to say thank you and to let you know about the great work being done by one of your team.

Hello John,

I would like to compliment one of your employees. Her name is Briana. I have terrible computer skills and I have no idea how to upload photos. I called your company hoping someone could help me accomplish this. I was truly fortunate to be connected with Briana. So many companies in this day and age have terrible customer service that I wasn't sure what to expect. I must tell you that I was truly shocked what a sweet and helpful person she was. She talked me through it and was genuinely concerned about my problem. I wasn't sure I could do everything she told me, so Briana went a step further and gave me the email address and talked me through everything. I was able to get the photo off my cellphone and send them to her. She even stayed on the phone and told me the picture had arrived and said I should be able to send it in 24 hours. I was actually able to send a pic that evening to Julia in Russia. Julia was thrilled to get the pic as she had asked me to please send her one. Please let Briana know how much her thoughtfulness was appreciated. I'm sure the ladies in other countries wonder about the guys here. They receive letters but really don't know about them. So when Julia made a small request for a photo, it was important that I followed through with it. She was very happy I followed up on it. But that wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Briana's concern. She is truly a wonderful person to represent your company. If you need to contact me for any reason please do.

Sincerely, Ron

I'd like to share my experience with A Foreign Affair.

It is a trustworthy site where I decided to sign-up to meet gentlemen from other countries. I filled in an application and then, I received a letter from a respectful, sincere, loving and kind man, who was sure of what he wanted. I am now engaged to this gentleman. Williams, my soon-to-be husband and I have spent wonderful time together. It was just what my heart needed! Currently, I am applying for the US visa to fly to the United States to be wed.

Today, I am a happy woman thank God, and thanks to the great team at A Foreign Affair and the trust I had in them.

Respectfully

Jackeline S.S.

I wanted to recognize the work that Maria and her team are doing with my VIP program. I am so impressed with how great they are and their ability to go the extra length. Yesterday was a great example. My date had an accident on Monday and it looked like we were not going to be able to have the date. Maria and her team reached out to the date and tried to help her get the Zoom app installed on both her and her father's phone. Maria offereed to the date for us to send her a taxi so that she could come to the AFA office to take the date. Your team was able to assist her as she could barely walk to the office so we could have our date.

I want to recognize how this is an example of how great the office is in Colombia. Maria and her team don't just do this as it is their job, but they go the extra length to make sure that both the women and the men have a great experience and are able to find their true love.

I can't say enough positive things about the Colombia team. They are amazing, thoughtful, cheerful and I look forward to meeting them in person when I arrive in Colombia on April 22.

Please keep up the great work and keep sharing true love.

Bill

Good Day,

John, just wanted to take a moment to let you know the superb service I have received from Helen in your office there in Kiev. She is always polite, professional, reliable, knowledgeable and goes the extra distance. You are lucky to have her !

Hello Gustavo,

Here is the testimonial you can post on the website or how ever you want to use it. Thank you for your assistance with your service.

Gustavo and Andrea were excellent in helping us (guys) with dating the ladies here in Costa Rica. The socials were well organized and they gave us the opportunities that we came here for. It was especially nice to meet in the mornings for breakfast and discuss the upcoming day's schedule. If you needed or wanted something, they would arrange it for you, even on a Sunday. This was extremely helpful since I was new to San Jose and do not speak the language. As in life, there are no guarantees, but AFA and their staff give you the realistic opportunities to help you find what you are looking for. The rest is up to you. As for the ladies... well, if you know how to read their minds, please let me know.

-Joe K.

Good Evening John,

Thank you for your continued work every week hosting the nightly webcasts. Between you and Dina you not only answer questions, you make the next step of getting on the plane and meeting that special someone feel that much closer to a reality.

I wish you and Tonya the best. Thanks!

Regards

Hi John, just wanted to thank you and your staff for the very successful Skype conversation I had with Vita yesterday. Something that should been done a long time ago, but found that she felt insecure not knowing the language. The Interpreter made her feel at ease and the time flew by so fast. Next step and her request she would like to meet meet in Poltava in the warmer part of spring. Will only be for 3 days as she has to work, but strictly a personal tour. Corresponding for a year helped very much for her sake as she would have been incommunicado with the other service (xxxxxxx) where we initially met and have since cancelled my membership. So this virtual meeting confirmed any feelings we had for each other. Dina did a great job in setting us up and commend her for making the experience comfortable for her in that she could converse freely. You have done a great job and am interesting some of my friends to give it a shot. Many go to Las Vegas to gamble and whatever and I am sure would drop a similar amount at the tables. So, I hope they too will realize the opportunities. Also mention to research youtube and Ukrainian girls. Personal recommendations are very convincing.

Thank you again and hope your foot has healed. Warmest regards to you and your family,

Michael O.

Hello Anna and John,

I returned from my trip to Mexico last Thursday. I wanted to take a moment to tell both of you what a pleasure it was to work with Patricia. She is an exceptional person and AFA is lucky to have such a partner to work with. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Thomas

Hello John:

I have to tell you. I have been working with Maria this week and I can't say enough great things about her. She has been very communicative as we are working through the dating process. I was amazed that it was only one week ago that she and I met to see what I was looking for and do the video and already I have had a date every day since Tuesday.

Already with the three women that I have dated, 2 out of the 3 would be very easy to get to know and date. All I can say is this week I have 7 dates scheduled which is more dates than I have ever had in my life. The next few months are going to be a lot of fun and excitement. I have complete trust in AFA and I am not sure what your guiding principles are but I am sure that one of them is "We do what we say we are going to do and we do the best we can for the clients".

Have a great day. And here is to much love and success. -cheers -

When they say "client-first" business they mean it!

It may be a little long, but I believe it's worth mentioning so others can see how these folks "have your back" and when they say they are "client-first" they mean it.

My name is Bart and I'm fairly new to A Foreign Affair. In that short time, I am very impressed with these folks. Like Ronna Lou calling back quickly after I left a message (I was surprised with that because she had to have a ton of messages), or John, Gena and his manager helping me with getting a gift over to a lady who was in a country that did not have "Gift Services."

My story starts as I was focusing on women from the Philippines. My goal was (and continues to be) to travel to one of their socials after this darn virus thing goes away! – remember Pinays, Jesus is in control. I shall visit you!

I was getting several introduction letters from there and other countries. It just so happens, there was one letter that caught my eye, but this letter came from a lady in Chile. I was interested and started writing her (and she was writing back). I was intrigued because I had never visited Chile or known anyone from there. I started doing some research because I wanted to buy a gift for this lady, but I found out that country does not have "Gift Services." I was a little bummed with that, but I said let's make this happen and enlist some folks to help me.

Reason for "being Impressed" #1:

After making some calls to the site, this is when John, Gena and his manager got involved .and they started making things happen. It's like they heard what I was trying to do and they said, "dude, let's make this happen for this guy and lady." After a few emails and phone calls, Gena informed me this was doable and we could make this happen. I gave them my "thumbs up" and said I would pay a little extra because of all the coordination and logistics that had to go on behind the scene. I was not trying to rush the gift down for Valentine's Day (it was not that type of gift as we just met). I was just trying to get a gift down to a lady who seemed cool but was in a country that didn't have "those services" and probably never got gifts from men (like other ladies who lived in a country that had those services).

Reason for "being Impressed" #2:

Ok this is when the story gets interesting (and life throws our plans a "curve ball")

Evidently, during Gena's research and coordination with getting the gift to the lady, he found out the lady was in a serious relationship and would be leaving the site. So, Gena let me know this over the phone and basically said, " sorry dude. That's sort of uncool how she basically led you along for a little bit." I said, "yeah, but it's nice we caught it early. No harm, no foul." I told myself, well at least we found out before spending money on the gift. Then I said to myself, maybe I'll go back to my original plan of focusing on Filipinas and finding one that wouldn't do that.

After discussing the situation with his manager, what happens next, is in their (Gena and his manager) words, not mine: "It's unusual for such a situation to happen."

Gena let me know they would be refunding me the money I had spent on the emails I sent and opened from this lady. THAT was unexpected! THAT was a pleasant surprise that was appreciated.

As I said at the beginning, I know it's a little long, but I leave you with this thought

For the reasons I laid out, these folks did not have to do ANY of this for me. They were not obligated to do ANY of it. And yet, they did.

Let that sink in for a little bit and then you'll know why I titled this: When they say "client-first" business they mean it!

Just my thoughts.

Bart

Although we are not engaged, this suits us both, I have made the mistake of rushing in too fast with relationships previously. This time that has not been possible. We hope to meet again soon, I can not wait to get Lily here in the summer. I want to show her around, and there are so many things I want to do with her. She has never been on a motorbike, but is keen to try. We both love animals too. I have never been married, and have lived on my own for 29 years, this will mean big changes for me, I feel that I am ready for this, I always wanted a proper courtship, I am very confident that my journey is over. Lily is just right for me, I want a balanced relationship and have a lot of love to give her, Thank you John for everything. I have had a ball. And now I have everything. You take care

Kind regards, Ray

Hello John,

I am a true believer that you should give credit where credit is due!! Michelle by FAR is and has been THE BEST person of contact in helping me with my search in finding a foreign bride.

I appreciate her advice.

Steve S.

Well I just can't help this late review..I live in the calif Bay Area on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge .

I decided to visit Cebu Philippines 8.5 years ago on an AFA tour. Having been divorced. I sought out a new partner..it was going to be a very immersed experience I had realistic expectations. I did not do the letters. I jumped in. I love Asian people and felt I could find a partner..well the romance event was overwhelming So many ladies so little time.

Guys nothing can truly describe this, you will have the best vacation of your single life. Bar none! I met several ladies and did meet a very attractive woman. 26 Btw I was 58 at the time.

My goal was a relationship. And I got it. It took a solid year to get her fiance visa. And 5 long years to get her 10 year card. She's still waiting on citizenship.

It's a long haul... she's given me a son . And so much more. Love. Affection and companionship I am blessed with her ability to make friends and I'm included in a great social circle of Americans and their wives.

That I did not see coming ..:) It wasn't always a breeze, cultural differences.. and human errors but I can tell u first hand. If you are seeking a great chance to find love partnership and with this agency ..it's real and you really can find it go ! don't do letters just go...I did w my eyes open. It truly works.

Brad and Gi Gi

Hello John this is Gabriel! Thanks very much for taking the time to share with me all these important info about foreign dating. I am very excited by your sincerity, you are a great guy. You know I have been a member of different Asian sites in recent past and they share one thing in common, they are really not interested in getting members to meet each other in real life. Your company seems to be the only one I have discovered thus far that give people the chance to meet face to face. I appreciate the time you gave me today and I look forward to walk along with you until I can get my hands on one of those lovely Chinese gals.

Thanks again and have a good day

Gabriel

I was really adventurous and determined to make a decision and wanted to find my bride through this website (AFA). Also I came here in fear and trembling wether I was trustworthy or could really save my future my wife. But I did everything on the website here. Taking time and arranging meetings and working so perfectly for me.

AFA Affiliate officer Polina and interpreter Julia they joined each other as a team, so everything was completely soled and connected to my question in advance even they are busy with each other.

Try, what I really would like want you say and trust this AFA Website. I have nothing to say except to say that is is amazing.

I just wanted to say, well done! You are a great representative of a fine company!

Hi John: I wanted to say a big "Thank You" for the informative video update on your website re: Ukraine tours and covid situation. It's certainly been a "fluid" situation there and keeping up with changes in Euro travel and entry to Ukr are seemingly in a state of constant confusion!

I subscribe to the Kyiv Post online and from them I know that Western Ukr in particular has been hammered with the covid.

John, your video really helped put into perspective how AFA is taking important steps to ensure the future viability of tours and "one of one" meetings etc.

We just gotta be patient and we know that as soon as it's safe; tours are "ON!" If we decide to go on our own; the information is also helpful and very important.

I just wanted to say, well done! You are a great representative of a fine company!

Take care, your old client;

Good Morning Anna,

I had the most amazing time in Cartagena thanks in part to Leydys.

I will definetly recommend your service to others.

Thank you so much,

Robert

HI Anna and John, I'm sure you already know this but I just wanted to put my two cents in and tell you Larissa is so easy to work with and I am very happy with her personality and her responsibility with her duties at AFA. Thank You for this opportunity.

Respectfully,

Howard W.

John I have been in Odessa since Saturday. I just want to say that Kate at the office has been wonderful from helping me at the airport with phone service to taking me shopping just now. She is very understanding and is treating me great.

Sincerely

David

Stan just sent this photo in of himself with his beautiful wife, Mayla, and their gorgeous daughter Dorthy, and they recently discovered that they are expecting their second child together!

I have known Stan for many years and I will say that the road to his happiness was not a straight line.

There were many up's and down's, Stan had to go through a few different relationships, as many of us do, until he was blessed to find Mayla in Davao Philippines.

The one thing I always loved about Stan is that he was/is always positive and has a heart of gold.

He is the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I also admired his perseverance, he never lost faith and was determined to find his soul mate, which he did.

I am so happy for all of them that they are now together and building an amazing, loving, family and I am proud that AFA had a small part in helping that take place.

Congratulations guys, can't wait to see the next family photo!

John,

We spoke yesterday. I thought I would send a couple of photos from the wedding. We had to get married "online" because of coronavirus limitations. We were physically in our house in San Antonio, the judge was in his office or home. I dropped off the marriage license to the judge's office, and paid him online. Then the wedding was done on Zoom.com, and we invited a whole lot of people, in both the US and in Ukraine, who joined us to watch the wedding on Youtube. Because Iryna still does not speak or understand English to any great degree, since we communicate in Russian, I had to translate the judge's words for Iryna into Russian. But we each said our vows in both English and in Russian... She memorized both versions on her part...

My new bride is Iryna. Of course her profile has been removed from the website... We met for the first time on March 1, 2019, after only 3 letters. I was already in Ukraine. I think I told you, that I have airline pass privileges, so it costs me virtually nothing go to Ukraine... Business Class... And I have many friends all over Ukraine, but mostly in Kyiv and Chernivtsi. I cannot tell you how many letters I sent women on AFA, or how many trips I made to Ukraine, before I met her. But my current US passport is about 3 years old, and has 4 full pages of entry/exit stamps into/out of Ukraine. We just got her K-1 visa towards the end of February, and then got her out of Kyiv on a special UIA flight after the regular flight she had a ticket for was canceled. The special flight was to bring Americans home from Ukraine and Ukrainians back to Kyiv. They didn't want to let her on the flight at the airport, but a lady from the US Embassy in Kyiv intervened and she got on...

In the photo, I am in my US Army Colonel uniform. I retired from the Army a few years ago, but the uniform still fits, and she wanted me in uniform. There is a song in Russian, "The Real Colonel," that is a standing joke between us. So she wanted me in the uniform... She is wearing my mother's wedding dress from more than 70 years ago, in 1948. Both Iryna, now, and my mother, then, are/were EXACTLY the same size... the dress fit Iryna like it was made for her...

Look forward to further contact...

Wanted to drop you a note thanking afa and Tatiana for introducing me to Olga and assisting us with language and cultural barrier. She was very instrumental in helping us. Fast forward to oct 2019 Olga arrived in USA and we were married in December 9 If you need help with the tours in the future Olga and I would be glad to assist in any way we can

Cody

The January 2020 social in Kiev was great. It was literally wall-to-wall women. Standing room only. The socials keep getting bigger. There were probably 20 women for every man. Maybe 30. For the guys that were not sociable, the interpreters introduced them. After I spoke to a few ladies, the other ladies started getting jealous, and they started following me around trying to talk to me. I took 15 numbers, scheduled 5 more dates, and went out that night with two women in their early 20s who teach English.

Thanks,

Jon from New York

Hello Anna,

And Dina too!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

I am having a great 2020!!!!

I hope that you are warm and this letter finds you well!!!!!

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you about my 2nd trip to Costa Rica to see my lovely lady again this past week. I arrived CR last Thursday and returned home this past Tuesday. Jessica and I had a wonderful time together furthering our relationship. We have great chemistry together and as Forrest Gump said †we go together just like peas and carrots !!!! We are not engaged yet but I did give her a promise ring, of my my love only for her. She has a US Visa and still has some time off of work, so she is going to come visit me January 22nd - 27th here in Wichita. I want her to see where I live, experience what it is like here in the wintertime and further our relationship with one another. We talk everyday on WhatsApp and she is wonderful lady inside and outside!!!!

I want to thank YOU, Gustavo, his sister, and everyone at AFA for getting us connected together.

I wrote many letters to other woman, two trips to Ukraine (no chemistry), but never wrote one letter to her set up an individual tour with you, hopped on a plane and met her on a blind date for dinner and well here we are!! You guys are correct ct in saying don't write letters just get on a plane and go !!!!

As I promised you, if things continue to evolve as I think it will, Jessica and I will send you an invitation to the wedding!!!!

Thanks again for everything!!!!!

Tom

Ps: I would like to suspend my profile on AFA (I really don't think, that I need it anymore). How do I go about doing that????

Hello front desk,

You state you regret that you were unable to help me fine a soul mate. However, you did help me find a soul mate. I wrote one lady from your site. I traveled to your city office where they arranged for me to meet this lady. We realize that each of us offer what we are looking for and have actually fallen in love. I proposed and she accepted and we will be married this spring or summer.

So I did travel, however, not through a tour and your site gave me my soul mate half way across the world from my Northern British Columbia, Canada home.

Thank you. You have a success story.

Advice to other men looking for a soul mate and life partner/wife. I see comments on chats that the men are upset with having to spend $200 in a month for emails to the ladies. If they are complaining about $200/month they should not be looking to distant countries for a wife. I spent over $2500 in emails per month, within 1 1/2 months of starting writing I spent $4000 for airline tickets, hotels and extras to meet her. A man cannot budget cheap in finding a wife as a soul mate is priceless and extremely rare. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR MARRIAGE SITE - I found my soul mate/wife on it.

Cheers,

Arthur H.

Good morning Anna,

I want to thank you for your help in getting me to Ukraine, and also to let you and the staff know that everything is going well. I landed here on Wednesday evening Ukraine time. I barely had a chance to change clothes before my first date with Inna. She is the main lady I wanted to meet. We have seen each other with the help of a translator every day since. Her daughter who is 5 years old seems to really be taken with me, which I am very glad of. The first day I met her she was acting shy, but when we got up to go across from the hotel for a walk, she took my hand not Inna's. I really haven't been this happy in a very long time. I have included a few photos.

Please also share with Dina, as she has helped with the phone translations before I came here. Oh and as for jet lag, I didn't have time to deal with it before we met. Inna was that excited to see me. I thought I'd have at least one day before we met. I only had an hour after I got off the plane. On another note, I have made her cry twice now. The first was do to a poem I wrote for her, and the second was when I let her know how I felt. we were sitting in the same seat in the hotel lobby so now she doesn't want to sit there. It's a joke we share. Oh and I don't think she ever noticed my shoes!!!

Thank you all again, and I will keep you guys up dated after I get back home on the 21st

Warmest regards

Jeff

Want to wish you a very Merry Christmas (both Christian and Orthodox), and a very happy festive season. We are both doing very well, and working hard (long hours, too), and we are happy. Raisa is currently waiting for her Green Card, which was supposed to arrive last week, but we are still waiting (ten-year). Hoping the rest of the holiday season creates more happy memories for you all. And if you don't mind, I like to give you all, at A Foreign Affair, a huge shout-out in congratulating you all, as you celebrate your 25th year of providing excellent service. The level of service that you have provided since 1995, continues to improve, year after year., while also educating people with the facts that are so important, to achieve that successful outcome. I know that your success will continue to grow, and wonderful outcomes will result. CONGRATULATIONS!! You earned it.

The overall experience was good for me, I was relaxed, and didn't feel intimidated by anything in Shenzhen. The weather was warm, the people were friendly, my interpreter was amazing! (Lihong Rachel) We had fun going out for drinks and dancing at CoCo Park!

Bradford A.

The overall experience was absolutely fantastic. I met guys that i am sure we will be friends for a longtime. I had amazing memories with at least 3 guys that is probably rated as some of the best experiences i have ever had. Due to this i understand why German\Canadians guys are so much fun to hang out with. I met about 3 ladies, and hope that 1 of them is the special one.

The only issue i have was the Kiev social event that became a bit crowded in the middle of the venue and i could not get from the one side to other side very easily. The lack of seating space also made it hard for me when i wanted to sit down and could not find anywhere to sit down. I think it would have been nice if we perhaps had a speed dating setup so we could have met all the girls from the venue and visa versa, as i thought i missed a few girls that others have spoken too.

I liked to Odessa social very much, there was plenty of space, very good lighting to see everyone and plenty of comfortable seating. This was the highlight of my tour. It would have been nice if we had more than 2 hours to transition from the 6 hour bus ride to the social event though.

Overall, i had a wonderful time, and don't regret anything, it was a BRILLIANT experience. The staff was absolutely amazing and helpful. Helen was my manager in KIEV, and was AMAZING in helping me with the culture differences of woman in the country. Helen helped me recover a relationship with my future wife when i thought i destroyed the relationship :)

Sincerely

Naz

Outstanding service well pleased with the tour

I just wanted to thank AFA and yourself for the services you offer and deliver. It was a wonderful experience meeting so many beautiful, intelligent, educated, articulate and hard-working ladies through AFA. All told, I made 5 trips to Ukraine and one side trip to Italy. I could give you the whole history, but to make a wonderful, but long story short, I have met a wonderful woman here in Wyoming in part because of AFA.

This past April, I was turning in my rental car at the Casper, Wyoming airport after taking a pre-employment physical for a job in Sinclair, Wyoming. You probably don't recall, but I used the Odessa office to set up a short (3 day) visit in March of this year, so my Russian was at its best. During the course of turning the rental car in I made some comment in Russian. The lady at the counter obviously didn't understand and I had to apologize, mentioning that I had been going to Ukraine to try to find a bride. She commented that "maybe we should date" and I asked for her number.

I got the job and subsequently began courting Heather. I credit the confidence I gained in my trips to Ukraine for how well I was able to relax and just be myself. We continued to date and are currently planning a trip to Italy in December. We plan on being married next March.

I truly want to thank you and all of the folks in and associated with AFA. I have to give credit to you, the people at AFA and most especially, the wonderful women of Ukraine. I'll never forget Dasha, Nonna, Tatiana, Irina, Svetlana, Victoria and Natalia. My special thanks to Anna and Katya of the Odessa office.

Keep up the good work!

Dear John,

I joined the tour 12th to 21 Sept 2019: Kiev - Kharkov, lead by Joe. You can add me to the list of guys that is kicking himself for "not doing it earlier". An awesome cheers to Joe for keeping me on the right lines and well advised. If it were Joe and a bunch of dudes just going on a Ukraine pub tour I'd still be a happy man. Helen was my assigned date co-coordinator in Kiev. I never got round to thanking her more properly. She is a machine and spent some out-of-hours time organising absolute class dates for me. My objective of the tour was to experience something different, make a few pen-pals and start to have something in store for the future. Now I have too many women to stay in touch with, more flights booked to Kiev, and one has already visited me in Paris. If things dry up I would still come on another tour or just a social. And I would recommend the AFA service to my single friends.

All the Best,

Martin

Hi John,

I just got back from the Philippines last Wednesday and had the greatest experience of my life thru the Asian club. I want you to recognize Lota who works in the Cebu office who made sure I made it there ok and took care of everything while I was there and even when I got home she wanted to make sure I made it home safely. She also picked me up at my hotel so I could go to church with her on Sunday. I met lots of sincere, caring and loving Filipino women and I narrowed to one special lady. I plan on going back in March of next year to spend some time with my special lady. Actually the whole staff at the Cebu office was great and helpful. Give Lota thanks once again I will stop by her office to say hello when I go back in March.

Sincerely,

Eric Bennight

Mr. Adams

Wanted to drop a line and thank you for the Medellin Tour. Those Medellin Tour socials were awesome! I had lots of fun and met 100's of girls.

Perhaps it was fate that the Peru Tour was lacking and the Medellin Tour was available, but, there is no doubt in my mind that AFA delivers as promoted. Excellent in every aspect.

Met a great gal in Medellin, spent my time with her during the tour. Went back to see her 2 weeks ago and she's coming to visit me in 3 weeks. It's going well, google translate is a hoot.

Dear John, I wanted to tell you about my recent trip to Kiev and the excellent help I received from your office staff. Particularly Helen who was great in not only setting up appointments with women for me to meet, but offered insight and perspective to someone like me who has never done this type of thing before. I originally came over to meet three women that I had been corresponding with and immediately the first two didn’t work out at all. That left me with a number of days to fill and no plan. Victoria and Helen sprung into action and I have never felt more welcome and accommodated by people who barely knew me. Helen stayed in touch with me daily and sometimes hourly with appointments. She made the entire trip worthwhile.

I did meet several women and will continue to correspond with a couple of them. However my experience was so great that I plan to come back before the end of the year and meet some more women as I have yet to meet the future Mrs. Betzen. I believe in your company and that with the help of people like Helen I will find the right person. I’ve owned and managed several radio stations in my career and know how important great employees are. I thought you should know you truly have a great one in Helen and the entire office in Kiev

Sincerely

Rick B.

Anna,

You have been extremely professional and helpful scheduling my Asian Club Tour to Cebu. I have called you and emailed you several times, and you have always been patient and supportive. Please forward this email to your direct report Manager and the President of your company. It is staff/people like you that place a real face on AFA. Your website is helpful but it is compassionate people like yourself that make a significant difference in this personal and important decision. I will call you when I return to give you direct feedback about my tour, thanks again a very satisfied AFA member.

• Your Odessa Manager Anna, was helpful throughout my first tour and, as I understand she will be leaving your organization to pursue a new life, I am sure she will be missed.
• Also from Odessa, a translator named Anna Petrelli. She steered me away from a table full of sharks and toward a table full of nice ladies. I am eternally in her debt. Her language skills were excellent and I wish I could have had her with me for all my dates.
• From Nikolaev, another Anna. Unfortunately, I don't have any more than her given name. She was able to point out insincerity in one lady that was about to get her hooks into me. On my next trip to Nikolaev, I think I'll track her down and give her flowers.
• Elena S., an affiliate manager in Zaporozhye. Elena has been excellent in her efforts to make dates for me, as a translator on one of those dates, as well as acting as a tour guide on Khortisa Island. This woman does it all!
• Polina, the affiliate manager in Dnipro. Polina was able to give me a pep talk after a truly horrible date and had me set up with five more dates the next day. Polina had me back in the ring before I knew it.
• Also in Dnipro, my translator for those five dates, Julia. She was skillful and efficient in her work and I found her to be truly a professional. What sets her apart is her advocacy for me to the ladies I was meeting. I truly felt Julia was there for me and as fully invested in my success as I was.
• Last but not least, Anna V. I point her out not for any single act but for the totality of her work. I don't know how she managed to keep everything flowing so well, but she did. Whatever you are paying her, it isn't enough.
