EXPEDITION LEADER
I started my career as a professional traveler with an argument. I wanted to prove to my friend that I would conquer Kilimanjaro. As a result, I conquered the three highest peaks in Africa on my first trip, for which I was included in the Book of Records of Ukraine. I think that there are thriller countries - these are Zimbabwe, Zambia, Brazil, there are adventure ones - like Peru and India, and there are complete fantasy - these are Namibia, Bolivia and Argentina. On expeditions, I live a different, richer and brighter life. After all, to live means to travel!
Number of countries visited: 25
My credo, motto:
Only during journeys we get to know ourselves...
If you are afraid, do not do it, and if you do, do not be afraid of anything!

First independent trip
It was my first trip abroad. I argued with a friend for five cakes that it is possible to conquer Kilimanjaro without any experience and not only ... As a result, in 50 days of staying in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, I conquered Kilimanjaro (Peak Uhuru), Mount Kenya (Peak Point Lenana) and Ruwenzori Moon Mountains (Marguerite Peak). Thanks to climbing the highest peaks of Africa - more than 5,000 m, made during one trip, I got into the Book of Records of Ukraine. At the same time, I crossed Lake Victoria, visited the sources of the Nile, stayed with the Maasai, and I don't even count the national parks I visited. Africa is simply beautiful, and feelings and emotions were strong and vivid, like first love.
