Expeditions beyond five stars
wild
Expedition Designer
Alex.
For over two decades, I’ve lived between two worlds —
expeditions to the middle of nowhere,
and digital transformations at the front edge of civilization.
They may seem like opposites. They aren’t.
It’s the same instinct — to go beyond the horizon.
Transformations don’t stall because people are incapable. They stall because people are bored. Burned out.
Everything becomes predictable.
Safe. Sterile.
My work isn’t about making people comfortable.
It’s about restoring curiosity.
Not through corporate theatre or motivational noise —
But through contact with something real.
That’s why I don’t sell tours.
I design expeditions.
Not about how far you go.
But how deep you dive.
Into the unknown.
Into the real.
Five stars are comfort.
The Universe is wild.
The world is not dead.
And neither are you.

Travel as an investment
Camera matters. But your itinerary matters more.
A $10,000 camera takes boring photos if you visit boring places. To capture the exceptional, you must travel differently. Here's how.
