I want people to see the mountains and find themselves in the wild.
I was born in the foothills of the Tien Shan mountains, and the mountains have always been a meaningful part of my life. As a child, my godfather took me hiking in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where I first experienced the peace and harmony of nature. Over time, this grew into a desire to explore new places, and I began hiking on my own — first in the Caucasus, and later while living in different countries, including Georgia, where I created a community of fellow mountain lovers. Every week, we would head out on hikes to reconnect with nature.
Besides mountain hiking, I fell in love with bikepacking as another way to explore the world — I’ve cycled over 4,000 km across several European countries.
While living in Finland, I felt nature more intimately than ever — observing plants and rocks right outside my window and learning to notice the smallest details. Now I live in Amsterdam, below sea level, which only deepens my longing for the mountains. When you travel with me, we go to the Alps — a place I love for how accessible they are. Just a few hours away, and you’re drinking fresh milk from alpine cows in the meadows, surrounded by the sharp peaks of the Dolomites and the slopes of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
In the past, I built AI-powered tech startups to tackle climate challenges, and I worked as an urban planner implementing nature-based solutions in cities. Today, I help people step out of their offices and rediscover the natural world.
