About
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with other countries, cultures and experiences. I knew from the age of five that I wanted to travel the world and experience something out of the ordinary. I love exploring new destinations, trying local cuisine and embracing the thrill of what is foreign. I especially love crafting unique and unforgettable journeys for others and sharing my passion for travel.

Travel style
I love the research part of planning a holiday. In fact, this might be my favorite part. I enjoy learning about a destination's culture, food and traditions. Discovering beautifully designed boutique hotels brimming with character is a must. While on holiday, I relish strolling and shopping along winding cobblestoned streets, biking or hiking from village to village in search of charming local delicacies and restaurants, and engaging in local traditions. I thrive on discovering hidden gems in up-and-coming destinations, valuing not just the places I visit, but the stories and connections I make along the way.
