Mikhail Zhebrak and his projects

There is such a guide in Moscow, which invites children and adults to walk through the streets of the capital and the suburbs, turning it into a fascinating journey into the depths of centuries. This is Mikhail Zhebrak. He is called a private guide, an inventor, a storyteller, and also he is the presenter of the author's program "On foot".

Excursion-performance

Yes, he is just like that. Over the years, he has come up with interesting games for children and even adults. Michael turns excursions into real plays, in which those who come to the tour, become acting persons, and not just the group following the guide. Each new walk, a new excursion or a trip to one of Moscow's parks with the children suddenly turns into a treasure hunt or some historical artifacts. Excursions in art museums turn into detective investigations, more difficult than Pinkerton's. Children like these are the searches for the solution of the mysteries kept in the museum halls. It is interesting for them to look at the pictures and find the clues to the clues instead of the dry classic story of the guides.

In a nutshell about myself

Tourism and excursions - love since childhood

Born in Moscow, Mikhail went around it and went through all the mysterious places in the center of the capital and the remote corners of its parks. The young adventurer liked to find historical places and ancient monuments, described in literary works. Knowing every corner of the capital well, I spent many years on excursions around Moscow and, while traveling with children in Moscow suburbs, tried to introduce them to nearby monasteries, manors, towns.

Further work as the editor of the sports department, then the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Self-defense without weapons".

Well done those parents who bring their children on such excursions. On the site of "Merry Travel" you can read rave reviews from parents and the children themselves.

Author's program "Walking"

Excursions and plays, which Mikhail Zhebrak invented for many years, pushed him to the idea of creating his author's program "On foot". And she received the highest marks from the audience. It's great that the transmission is half an hour and does not tire the viewer at the screen. The highlight of it in the professionalism of the narrator, which is Michael himself. He, a great connoisseur of the history of Moscow and its environs, devoted many issues of the program to the theme of Moscow. These include the cycle of programs "Moscow Tea", "Moscow water", "Moscow Italian" and others. This is also an excursion, only for a wide range of spectators. These programs are on the Internet, that is, they can be viewed at any convenient time. In the stories that Mikhail creates, the viewer watches the amazing game of an erudite and talented person.
