Aigerim is from Almaty and spent six years as a railway ticketing agent before she started writing. She covers Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan: which borders are open to foreigners, where e-visas apply, how to buy train tickets that sell out, and when the mountain passes close.
