My name is Henrich, and I am a traveler and a Central Asia researcher from Bratislava, Slovakia.

Since 2022, my focus has been to provide unusual destination trips.

My mission is to show the authenticity of the hidden world and support the local communities and businesses.

Understan does this from each trip realized.

I am passionate about adventures from the Steppes of Central Asia and the Mountainous Caucasus through the vibrant Middle East to the misunderstood Africa and Eastern Bloc.
