I live in Baikal. I travel a lot, visited more than 20 countries. But every time I come home, I realize that Baikal is the best place on Earth.

I organize meaningful trips to places of power: Baikal, Abkhazia, Crimea.

At the best of times I organized author's tours to Japan.

I try to think out every detail, so that my travelers were comfortable, interesting and useful.
The concept of my tours is learning and discovering yourself through travel, transformation and search for new things.

I am a transformational trainer, psychologist, body therapist, Reiki master.

Travel with meaning!

About the tour: Thank you very much Elena for the unforgettable emotions! Everything was well organized! During these 8 days, Elena has told so many interesting things, showed significant places, and found comfortable hotels. I liked absolutely everything! We saw cherry blossoms 🌸, attended a tea ceremony, saw Mount Fuji and much more! Any issues that arose were resolved immediately. Every day was carefully planned by Elena, thank you, we are very glad that you were with us on our first trip to Japan! Read more
Japan: beautiful cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji

About the tour: This was my first trip to Japan and I really enjoyed it.

The tour is very busy and during the week we managed to see many beautiful places. Tokyo and everything around it was an incredible experience, while Kyoto has its own unique vibe.
Upon arrival, the sakura was just beginning to bloom, and we found both early pink blossoms and white ones. So the dates were perfect

Thanks to Elena for such a great trip Read more

About the tour: My dream to visit Japan came true It was a great time with a rich program

Preparing for the trip:
I spent a long time looking through various tours and suitable dates. I contacted Elena and outlined my desired places to visit. And, it should be noted, she approached the request very responsibly and comprehensively, redesigned one of the tours, including everything I wanted. I was really looking forward to recruiting the group for this tour in April, but unfortunately the band did not meet So I joined the guaranteed group at the end of March with an emphasis on cherry blossoms

Transportation:
Elena arranges delivery from the airport and escorts you to the airport on the way back All trips under the program are included in the payment. We tried all types of transport, including shinkansen (very comfortable and fast), a fairly pleasant experience on JR trains We were not very pleased with the buses that may not stop or open the door if they think there are many passengers inside. Therefore, sometimes there were temporary stressful moments with transfers In general, this is adjustable, and I think it will be taken into account in new tours

Hotels:
I was completely satisfied with the choice of hotels. Good locations in the central parts of cities, comfortable rooms of good size (by Japanese standards), delicious breakfasts Sometimes there were even rooms with baths, which is quite luxurious for Japan

Tourist program:
The intensity of the program and the places to visit pleased me with their diversity and sometimes a mixture of “incompatible” Transitions from history and traditions to bright modernity, the strange and impressive combination of incompatible things reflect Japan's peculiarity. In fact, the most desirable locations were included, sometimes Elena added small bonuses, like visiting an unplanned temple or shopping location We managed to see different facets of Japan and the atmosphere of its cities, natural attractions and local features, culture and habits, religions, Japanese character Very I liked temples, Japanese gardens, walks along the waterfront, views of cities from above, landscapes with cherry blossoms and more

Meals:
I have repeatedly called this tour “gastronomic” during my stay The food is delicious, varied, fresh Elena often booked nice places for lunches with high-quality fish and seafood, sometimes with a very creative serving of dishes. There were also options for freely choosing lunches and dinners according to her preferences. There was time to buy snacks/drinks/sweets along the way Elena suggests translating dishes and shows you what you can buy with you

Group:
We traveled in a company of 6 people of different ages and interests Overall, it was positive and friendly There were moments of lapping due to some participants being late, but we managed it. It felt like everyone got what they expected from Japan Elena helped arrange additional “wishes”, including extra days of accommodation in Tokyo and tours to places not included in the program I can say and thank you for my escort on the day of departure (it was late, 22:00 p.m. :50) We organized ourselves to shop for a specific electronics brand that was mine interesting They also seized dietary supplements in brand stores (by the way, I highly recommend buying them, their quality is highly appreciated) I dreamed of visiting onsen, but it was not part of this program Elena found a nice place and helped me get there, accompanied me inside with translation and explanations This is very valuable, thank you

The result:
I recommend this tour and organization with Elena She has many interesting, diverse programs and dates that are optimal in terms of price/quality. The tour experience is positive and inspiring, with a sense of inner satisfaction
I wish everyone to visit Japan and plunge into this country with their own experience! Read more
Retreat in Abkhazia Be strong!

About the tour: I would like to thank Elena for a great vacation! I have long wanted to visit Abkhazia and was looking for something extraordinary and unusual for myself. This retreat tour attracted me to a rich program, which included unusual beautiful excursions, as well as yoga and meditation practices that revealed new experiences and previously unfamiliar feelings for me. I decided to go just a few days before the start of the tour and never regretted it!
The entire retreat program was a breeze! There were a lot of interesting, varied and informative things. I experienced incredibly strong emotions when visiting the powerful places of Power, swam in several holy springs, visited Bolshaya Ritsa and Malaya Ritsa and tried much, much more!
A vacation at sea is a different story! The water is unusually clean and warm, the beaches are almost deserted, surrounded by eucalyptus trees, which are 200-300 years old, the mountains of extraordinary beauty. All this gave birth to hope in my soul and body that everything was possible and there were no obstacles in my way and filled me with energy. And this experience is really priceless for me.
Amazing things are happening, people can direct their mind and body in the right direction if they want. I understood and experienced it myself thanks to this retreat in Abkhazia.
I remember the New Athos Monastery the most. A temple of extraordinary beauty and history, and all the places we visited as part of the tour program, left indelible impressions and emotions.
The service was excellent, a modern comfortable eco-hotel in a quiet location near the beach, comfortable safe transport, atmospheric restaurants with delicious food. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends and acquaintances.
Thank you very much Elena for her sensitive and attentive attitude and professional approach to organizing our wonderful retreat trip! Special thanks to Dima for our trip to Malaya Ritsa. We constantly felt that everything had already been taken care of and we could just enjoy the trip!!! Read more
