Travel itenaries, travel planning to less touristic places

Who is writing this blog?

I am an international tour guide and travel blogger who is especially curious to discover places that seldom catch the attention of the media or are misrepresented. I want to inspire you to choose off-the-beaten-track destinations by sharing objective information, ideal itineraries, the best local tours, and various travel tips. It is mainly the lack of information that keeps us away from incredible places.

Get knowledge, interact with locals, and have the most authentic cultural experiences to not only travel but also understand the place. The best way to get the most of your trip is to join one of my group tours!

More about the group tours

Join one of my cultural group tours to some less-traveled destinations in the future, starting with Ladakh, India, and later to Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon. These countries made the biggest impact on me; this is where I met the most hospitable people, so it is my mission to help people know the true face of these countries.

 When organizing my trips, I combine my experiences as an individual traveler and an international tour leader with over 15 years of experience. The trips are planned for small groups (maximum 10-18 people). This way, you can get an authentic experience and feel like traveling with friends.

Besides visiting famous monuments, it is equally important to get close to locals by eating in local restaurants, sharing a meal, listening to personal stories, and participating in local events and festivals when possible.

The tour guide is a crucial part of the tour. Their life experience and knowledge are some of the most important things that make a difference compared to an individual trip. So, I carefully select the best tour guides and partners who share the same views as me.

Who do I recommend my trips to?

– For any age group. The most important thing is to be open-minded and enjoy being an explorer in places without mass tourism, with all its inconveniences and imperfections.

– Also, for those who don’t usually travel in groups, since certain places are challenging to explore alone, even for experienced travelers. Planning a trip involves a lot of stress. But the most important thing, and what I miss the most during my solo travels, is the wealth of insider information I get from the tour guides and the fact that you can even get to places you wouldn’t otherwise be able to access through the connections of the local offices.

Personalized Individual Tours

If you cannot join the group or you want to have a tailor-made program for your family and friends, contact me to organize the trip for you.
