Hi everyone. Our names are Elen and Alex. We are travelling more then 6 years together (not in a row, unfortunately). Mostly by hitchikking, but sometimes by ourselves by foot.

Alex is the beginner of graphic designer, also poetry and novel writer, like philosophy, science fiction, art-house movies and complicate literature.
Lena is the professional illustrator and artist; her drawing full of forest, mushrooms and nature. She prefer to draw with watercolor, but digital is also avaliable.

As for now, we drove by hitchhiking around 100000 km, visited middle Asian countries, Egypt, Turkie and Georgia.

We always have interesting stories, good mood and a lot of adorable energy for people we want to meet and visit. We are so interested in listening tales about journies and culture exchange.
