Rare expeditions to the world’s most unexplored destinations.

Jan Brelih – Sound recordist / Expedition coordinator

Expedition Coordinator

I’m Jan Brelih, a field recordist and expedition coordinator specializing in remote wilderness access. For the past 8 years, I’ve been documenting natural soundscapes in some of Earth’s most isolated regions—from Borneo’s interior rainforests to the Colombian Pacific and Caucasus glaciers. This work has taught me how to navigate challenging terrain, manage extended solo expeditions, and build relationships with local communities in areas that see few outsiders. Now, I’m offering guided expeditions for individuals and small groups who want to experience these places firsthand. These aren’t standard tours—they’re designed based on my own remote expeditions, accessing areas that typically require extensive planning, wilderness skills, and local knowledge to reach safely. Each expedition can be customized for specific purposes: documentary filming, wildlife photography, scientific research, or simply experiencing pristine wilderness. I handle logistics, safety protocols, permits, local coordination, and route planning—the practical aspects that make remote access possible.

 

"Suited for filmmakers looking for the rarest and most unique stories, researchers wanting to access a certain area, artists looking for inspiration, field recordists needing to expand their libraries, or simply someone seeking a deeper connection with wild places."
