I’m Pavel! “Thousand Voyages” is my project, related to travel, photography and adventure. I travel solo or lead small groups of people to unusual, off-the-beaten-path places worldwide through my travel agency “Thousand Voyages” Ltd. Travel and documentary photography is my ultimate passion.  You will find here practical information, stories, high-quality photography and plenty of enthusiasm, hopefully inspiring and helping you travelling as much as possible. I hope you will enjoy the stuff on this blog as much as I have enjoyed creating it!
