About you
Quit my 60 hr+ consulting job to travel and explore beautiful & adventurous destinations
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
Experiences in life are what matter and I love to meet new people, and hear their stories. Already lived in 6 countries and travelled even more. That’s how you keep growing; that’s how you learn.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
I’m all in for adrenaline or something that is actually an experience – “not just a pretty photo”. E.g. I’ve just been to Iceland to see the volcano eruption.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
1/ Mastering packing to the fullest (I have no trouble travelling for a week with one carry-on) and 2/ Getting to know locals and using their recommendations – or better yet, travelling with them. I never plan the entire trip in advance; I always leave room for exploring with locals.
Got any gear you can’t travel without?
My phone to keep in touch with family & friends, no matter which country I am in; and of course to share my experiences via IG. Everything else is dependent on the climate. Recently, I’ve also been carrying around binoculars. It’s more useful than you’d think!
What destination are you eager to go back to?
Norway!
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
Puh.. depends on the country. In some countries, it’s helpful to have a man travelling with you. Another helpful thing is having your own driver instead of getting into random “taxis”. This is not always feasible/affordable depending on the country. I always let at least 1 friend know where I am and what my exact itinerary is and make regular check-ins. I know some friends who carry pepper spray with them but that is banned in so many countries, it makes crossing borders hard.
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Talk to them! And ask yourself 😉 It helps tremendously to speak the local language at least a little.
What’s your favourite word in another language?
I don’t think I have one…
When and where are you next travelling?
December – Iceland, January – Australia!

It gives me joy and makes me grow as a person.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
I like to be around locals and find out more about their life and their culture.

Not having too many plans. I like to let myself go with the flow. I talk to locals and find out where they like to go and then I go there.

My bum bag, I have everything I need in there.
What destination are you eager to go back to?
South Africa
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
I listen to my gut. If I get the slightest bad feeling, I get out of the situation. This works with people, hotels, places and all kind of things and has been working really well.
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
I just talk to everyone, some people offer to show me places, others have recommendations and hints on where to go and what to do. Also I like to stay in smaller villages, then it’s usually super easy to meet locals and experience their lifestyle.

Empuss – Kimassai for cat

About you
Hi there:)
I was born in Belarus studied finance, got a master but I always had a feeling this world is bigger than we think and I started to explore and travel getting know people cultures. I moved to Germany at the age of 25 (which is a whole other big adventure ) and started to do what I always dreamed of: be a filmmaker and photographer. I can describe myself as a naive dreamer, who has never lost a dream over the years and as a light, this dream brings me back to my path whenever I feel lost or sad:)
Why do you travel and photograph your journeys?
As an astrology fan, I’d say it’s Saturn who influences the whole horoscope of mines and ascendant in Capricorn, but in simple words, two things are driving forces: fear that time is limited and wish to reach the final goal before time flies away.
This situation I can compare with a climb up the mountain (reach goal) before sunrise (limited time) to capture the magical moment which lasts just 30 min 🥰
What is your favourite thing or item to photograph?
Nature, sunrise, also a video is more magical for me at the moment, emotions
What’s your go-to travel hack?
Super hard unbreakable case and Herschel.
Got any gear you can’t travel without?
Camera, Sony a7iii, small rig handles for handheld filmmaking, lense 24-70 2.8
What destination are you eager to go back to?
Ramsau, Iceland, East Switzerland (Säntis) north Teneriffe, Armenia
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
I look only for safe park places, paid ones, with lights. When going back down the mountain at night I join a group of people who have girls and boys there to walk together. I talk to locals to ask where is it safe to go. Mostly I’m nature mountains are people are kind and the is no danger.
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Talk to locals! Take 20-30 min and talk to older people who live there it’s a treasure what they can say. I also used couch surfing a lot when I started a travel and it was the best way to explore like a local, but be careful and choose people with good references.
What’s your favourite word in another language?
Attraversiamo 😅 let’s cross the road In Italian
When and where are you next travelling?
Deciding between Iceland, west France down Pyrenees mountains or Teneriffe and with volcano cloudy landscape
