Hi, I'm Alex
I am a tour guide, web designer, and photographer.
But after 20 years in the profession,
my work expands beyond tours, websites, and photos.
That's why I call my work "journey design".
I create digital and physical journeys, such as:

Hi, this is Alex 👋
Long story short:
I am a purpose-driven entrepreneur 🌍
I design meaningful trips for mindful people – https://neo-expeditions.com,
lead a community for travel entrepreneurs – https://travelhood.org,
and make inspiring websites – here's my portfolio 🔥
Let's do something epic together!

Long story long:
Hi, I'm Alex, originally I am an expedition guide 🏕️
I was born in Siberia 🏔️, led trips to 40+ countries since 2003,
and I currently live between Estonia 🇪🇪 and Mexico 🇲🇽
I travel quite a bit 🗺️.
My wife and I 👩❤️👨 spent our honeymoon 💏 driving our self-built campervan 🚐
through Siberia 🏔️ in winter 🥶🥶.
Of course, we'd prefer something warmer than -40C❄️,
but it was covid and the borders were locked ⛔
And the winter in the Siberian mountains is beautiful 🏔️😮
Our son speaks 4 languages 👶💬,
though please don't expect long sentences from a 2-year-old kiddo:)

Before 2022, we had a travel business in Siberia 🏔️😮
which we had to close because of the war 💥😠💔😭.
It was a big challenge 🤔, but we solved it 🧠 and
now we are creating something even more beautiful –
more conscious and truly global business 🌍💚.
It's called Neo-Expeditions 🔵.
We travel to epic and remote places🗿, connecting with nature 🌅 and wisdom🏛️.
So in some sense, we do help people quit the matrix for a week or two🐇🔴🕶️.
I'll be happy if you consider joining a neo-expedition for your next vacation ✈️

Where do I come from?
I was born and raised in Altai, Siberia ⛰️.
My father is from the area of Lake Baikal 🚣.
At the age of 8, I went on my first 200-km mountain hike 🏕️.
I loved it 💚.
When I was 16, I started working as a nature and mountain guide 🏔️.
Since then, I've guided many journeys to unusual places🤯.
For more than 20 years, I have been taking people to some of the most spectacular places in the world:
- we crossed mountain ranges and deserts on 5 continents,
- climbed the mountains of Papua with the Dani people,
- celebrated life and death with the Torajas of Sulawesi,
- met Tibetan monks guarding ancient Buddhist scripts,
- participated in shamanic ceremonies in powerful places.
That's how I learned how to design journeys🛠️✈️🗺️🌍💚.
It's more of an art rather than a business🎨🧑🎨.

I also lead a community for purpose-driven travel entrepreneurs🦸🦸♀️🦸♂️.
We help each other to become better beyond our own imagination🚀👨🚀👩🚀.
