My name is Elina, I'm a traveller and a documentary film maker.
If you're into raw adventures, chasing freedom, breaking boundaries, being curious about the world, and building bridges between people, you're in the right place!

I travel to off the beaten path regions of Russia & the World, exploring different cultures and looking for unique stories. I share my experiences on the YouTube channel and work on the projects that you will find below.
I'm honoured to have collaborated with numerous inspiring and innovative brands and organizations from all over the world

Selected videos from my channel
The videos offer my work as a travel documentarian and storyteller. Each piece highlights exploring remote, culturally rich, and often misunderstood regions of Russia and beyond. From the freezing streets of Yakutia to the intimate traditions of Tatar and Chechen communities, I capture raw human stories, regional identity, and natural landscapes.
