An “Amazing” Who Proves It’s Never Too Late to Live Your Dream
Yelena Yerkhova, at 90, had a yen for exploring the world.

Yelena Yerkhova, at age 90, had a yen for exploring the world, which she couldn’t fulfill for many decades, because of work commitments and the duties of daily life in her native Siberia. But starting at 83, she’s been making up for lost time. She's managed to travel to such far-flung destinations as Turkey, the Czech Republic, Germany, Vietnam, Israel and the Dominican Republic, all on her pension as a WWII home-front worker, the sewing she takes in and flowers she raises and sells.
Yelena can be found on a moped, a camel, on foot, and pretty much any other means of local transportation. Her adventuresome frame of mind is infectious. She loves making new friends all over the globe and delights in surprising people with her energy and appreciation of new experiences. A wonderful example for us all!
