I’ll help you design a journey around your interests and pace — or create one or two exceptional days within a trip you’re planning yourself.
Your Journey, Your Way

_______
A Tailor-Made Journey for a Couple, Family or Small Group
Tell me how you like to travel: what interests you, what pace and level of comfort feel right, how much time you have and what budget you’re working with. I’ll design the itinerary, select the right places and experiences, plan the logistics and take care of organizing the journey — from the first idea to a complete travel plan. I know South Africa, Italy and Switzerland especially well — countries I’ve travelled through extensively myself and can show you beyond the obvious tourist routes.
Let’s Create Your Journey Together
Tell me where you’d like to go, when, for how long, what you’re interested in and what kind of experience you’re looking for. I’ll come up with something special for you.
We don’t try to squeeze as much as possible into one week. Only what is genuinely worth the journey makes it into the itinerary: places, people and experiences capable of surprising even those who have already seen a great deal of the world.
02 / Rhythm
A journey with its own narrative.
We build each journey around strong experiences while leaving enough time to actually live them. Not rushing through a wine estate, but sitting down for a proper tasting. Not ticking off the Cape of Good Hope, but having time to actually be there.
03 / People
People you’ll want to share a table with.
Intimate groups of up to 10 guests. Adults with different backgrounds, professions and stories, who are interested in looking around the world — and in having real conversations with each other.
04 / Comfort
Comfort with nothing to prove.
Good hotels, beautiful places, reliable organization, great restaurants, wine and attention to detail. Because with age, you get particularly good at appreciating quality.
From our journeys
A few words from those who travelled with us
Didara Botabayeva
Translated from the original review in Russian.
Thank you so much for this trip — for the emotions, the atmosphere and the time you spent with us. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this good, and I still keep going back to the photos and videos. Alena, you are a true professional and someone who genuinely cares about what she does. Thank you for making this journey so memorable.

I wholeheartedly recommend travelling with Alena. I’ve visited 30 countries, but South Africa was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. The program was incredibly rich, and compared with other groups we met along the way, we experienced so much more. With an organizer like Alena, the journey becomes even better.
Anastasia Privalova
Translated from the original review in Russian.
I expected to discover the beauty of Africa. What I didn’t expect was to find such an amazing group of people. I hadn’t felt emotions like this from meeting new people — or from saying goodbye to them — in a very long time. Thank you, Alena. I really hope we’ll travel together again, if not with the whole group, then at least with most of it.
