Hey there,

I am outdoor journalist, editor and writer from Karelia, between Finland and Russia, living in various parts of the Italian Alps since 2013. Now it is Bergamo.

Together with my girlfriend Irina, a photographer, we are having a small creative studio Panoramica (Overview). Our goal is to help people look at their lives with a broader perspective through creativity, sports, nature, and friendship. To achieve it, we write and publish books, share our experience at talks and courses, organise creative hikes in the Bergamo Alps, and run other activities in outdoor recreation, sports events, ecological tourism, adventure travel, and related areas.

We will be happy to meet, host, share, guide, inspire, advice and help you in other ways.

Bring the same spirit with you.
