Hi, I'm Alex
Whether you are looking for a solo journey of self-discovery, multi-generational family trip that bonds your connection, or a working team offsite, I will be happy to design a plan.
Yucatan or Patagonia, Tibet or Namib – I will connect you with my friends, inspiring people who live in incredible places.

I design journeys for people who want more than beautiful photos.

I connect travelers and locals in incredible places
My work isn't to tell you how local people live, but to introduce you to inspiring individuals who live differently, and let them show you their worlds.
I've been working as a guide and travel designer in 40+ countries for 20+ years, from the remote valleys of Siberia to the selva of Yucatan.
True travel is not just sightseeing – it is "sight understanding". Reading landscapes or seeing history aren't just poetic words – these are traveler skills that I'll help you to learn.
We go beyond standard tourism. That's why I call my work "journey design".
I create trips to places that have special meaning for the world
This is Kurkurek, 3980
Make friends in faraway lands
If you want to meet eagle hunters of Mongolia or wisdom keepers of Amazonia, desert trackers in Namibia or nomads of Siberia, I will be happy to connect you with new friends in magical places.
The best part of my work is introducing travelers to inspiring people who live differently.
Be in the right place at the right time
The art of journey design is a search of goosebumps, finding experiences that truly enrich your life.
Being a travel expert is not about knowing places to visit, but knowing moments to experience, like this evening with candles in ancient Petra.
