Hello and welcome!


Hello! I am Alisa. I love to explore miracles hidden in different parts of our wonderful world and to write about them.

During my voyages to 55 countries, I’ve always tried to visit unusual places inhabited with wild creatures.

Wild animals and traveling are the greatest passions of mine, and I am ready to go anytime anywhere to discover more.

While traveling I've seen a lot and I am very concerned about wildlife’s wellbeing. So my mission as a writer and traveler is to practice and promote responsible traveling and preserve the fragile beauty of our Planet.

My areas of expertise are animals in their natural habitats, solo female trips and shooting locations around the globe. I am delighted to assist others in creating their travel itineraries, as well as to share numerous stories from my travels.

I write in English and Russian, being open to any suggestions and collaborations with online and offline media, travel companies and individuals. You can see examples of my work on this website, on Terra Incognita and Tripadvisor; and plenty of publications in Russian.

Apart from writing, I love to create videos and photos; you can see some pieces of my work on Shutterstock.
