Dream job

The 21st century is a time of scientific discoveries, researches, and the creation of important technical devices that make our lives much easier. In such a time full of various events, a person is always looking for an opportunity for physical and spiritual rest. Changing our usual environment helps to “unload” the brain and get inspiration for future achievements. Modern society often puts rest at the forefront. Millions of people visit a new country, city, village, or island every day for self-improvement and enjoyment. That’s a kind of hobby that touches them to their very soul, which in the future can outgrow into a profession and bring not only pleasure, but also profit. Today there are many interesting people who can motivate others by their own example and show that thanks to desire and applied efforts, you can achieve something you dreamt about yesterday.

I don’t want to focus on well-known journalists and bloggers, because there is quite a lot of information about them. So I will introduce you to a person who makes equally fascinating materials and devotes a significant part of his life to travel. Mark Butkin is a Ukrainian who has dreamt of traveling since childhood, of visiting every corner of our planet. He is 22 years old, and now he is not only making his dream come true, but also helping others to do it.

Mark made his first extended trip in 2018. Then, after a colleague’s exciting stories about a trip to Sweden, the young man decided to explore Europe. Mark shared his intentions with a friend, and together they began to assemble a team for this trip. During the trip, I managed to visit Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Poland. It was during this trip that the boy realized what he wanted to do with his life. And already in 2019, under the leadership of Mark Butkin, the author’s travel project called “TripMakers” was launched.

The “TripMakers” team promises every participant an exciting trip in a small family company, during which you get to know the country face-to-face, learn its customs and traditions and get a lot of positive emotions. Judging by the reviews, they really succeed in it. During the trip, you can visit the most interesting places in the country, because the team rents the most comfortable cars for the entire trip. Want a convertible? Please! On jeeps to the mountains? With pleasure!

Norway, Dubai, Cappadocia, Georgia, Cyprus – this is not yet a complete list of magical places to which author’s tours have been organized. In total, before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the team managed to visit 22 countries. Two more companions helped to conduct these trips: Yevhenii and Vadim. The guys were not just ordinary guides, but also photographers, cameramen and just friends for each member of the group. This, by the way, is a feature of this travel agency. After the trip, you will have memories in the form of high-quality photos and videos taken with a drone. The team spares no expense on professional equipment, all for the satisfaction of its tourists.

After February 24, Mark’s life, as every Ukrainian, came to a standstill. He had to wait for a while to keep on traveling. But the young man wasn’t going to sit idly by, so he began to actively develop his other project “Lampa Production” – filming various events, creating commercials. However, the soul needed to travel. In addition, the boy understood that thanks to his work, he would be able to financially support Ukraine in this difficult time.

Now Mark is studying in Poland and continues to fill his Instagram blog with interesting stories from his own life, unforgettable moments from his travels. Recently, the guy also started running a channel on YouTube. And, of course, gives people positive emotions in author’s tours again. Mark transfers a certain percentage of his earnings to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and believes that the victory of Ukraine is about to happen.
