Our journey began with a simple idea: to document the places often overlooked by traditional travel guides. From the remote and mystical to the quirky and awe-inspiring, we bring you stories that capture the essence of the world’s most unusual places.

Having lived in the USA, Norway, England, Scotland, Estonia, Georgia, Italy, and Russia, Ilya is always on the move, finding inspiration in every new destination. His diverse experiences and keen eye for the extraordinary shape the narrative of Unusual Places.
