Nikita Smirnov is a member of the Explorer's Club. He is only twelve years old, but he has already taken part in several expeditions. He stared travelling with his parents when he was only two years old. Last summer, Nikita went to an international eco-camp in the Altai Region. Together with teenagers from different countries, he enjoyed the beauty of mountains, swam in lakes with crystal clear water, made fires in the evening and cleaned the area. Nikita visited some other countries. He has been to Finland recently, but he hasn't been to Australia yet. He hopes to go there one day. What country would you like to visit?
