‘‘We go where few people go, where roads are unpaved, mountains high, people friendly, street food endless, history rich, languages unknown. We chase beauty, passion and enthusiasm between India and the Caucasus, slowly, responsibly, inclusively’’
Ciao, I am Ali!
A thirty-something Italian by passport, a Eurasian nomad of the steppes by soul.
I published my first travel book in 2013, drove 15 tons’ trucks in the Andes and around India, traveled overland from Canada to Chile, led tours along the Silk Route, and the Transmongolian railway route, and cycle while leading in Europe.
I have been Overlanding since I was a baby and Tour leading since 2016.
I try to inspire by going a bit deeper, beyond stereotypes, by supporting a slow, responsible, ethical way of getting to know the world and its people.
After exploring on the road Europe, Americas and extensively traveling overland along the Silk Road and the TransMongolia routes, I now concentrate my enthusiasm and passion on the countries between India and the Caucasus. I design and run my own tours/experiences with responsible, ethical travel as a guideline.
How I work?
A Tour leader connects you to the place you are visiting.
She/ He is a highly enthusiast, passionate, and skillful person who does all of those essential things needed for a successful, happy, memorable, and unforgettable adventure on the road!
A tour leader is an organizer and master in negotiations, in taking decisions and responsibilities in record timing. She fixes problems and finds solutions.
She uses all her knowledge, passion, and skills in order to gift you with the best possible experience.
A Tour leader is available 24 h on the road, taking care of everything that is happening on the scenes and behind. We help on border crossings, change currencies, we know where the best cafes are, how the language sounds like, what the people worship, what they eat, how they think. etc etc.
‘‘Mine is not a race to fill a map. I love to go back to the same places, again and again, book the same apartments, go to my favourite cafes and buy the veggies from the same people who remember my name. ‘‘
