My Story
I'm that friend who's been everywhere (115 countries and counting) and actually remembers which places will change your life—not just look good on Instagram.
My Travel Style
I don’t just visit destinations—I live them with an all-encompassing travel style that has me trekking mighty mountains, scuba diving with mantas and sharks, free diving crystal-clear waters, unwinding on pristine beaches, and cooking alongside locals who become lifelong friends. After 115+ countries, I've discovered the secret spots where luxury adventure meets transformative wellness and conscious aging—from thermal springs in Iceland that reset your skin to cutting-edge Swiss clinics offering the latest anti-aging therapies. But what truly sets me apart is my commitment to responsible and ethical travel—I partner only with local communities, eco-conscious operators, and businesses that give back to their destinations, ensuring your transformative journey leaves a positive impact on the places and people that welcome you. I curate experiences where adrenaline-pumping adventures and world-class wellness treatments aren't just vacation add-ons—they’re life-changing journeys that guarantee you'll come home feeling younger, stronger, and more alive than when you left.

I was pretty nervous about my first time in London, but Ucman made everything so easy. The hotel he picked was spot on - great location and exactly what I needed and I got treated very nice because of him with extra amenities and perks. What really impressed me were all the little tips he shared that I never would have found online. He told me about this amazing pub tucked away in a side street and which Tube stops to avoid during rush hour. Made such a difference! I didn't have to stress about anything once I got there because everything was already sorted. Will definitely be using him again for my next trip.

I don't know how he does it but Ucman knows the most beautiful spots, the most unique hotels. This is our fifth trip with him and this time, we just provided the dates and destination and he did everything on his own and we were amazed at how well he knows us now.
He is a brilliant guy and it definitely helps that he has been to all these places like Uzbekistan & Kyrgyzstan. We are very happy after returning home from the best holiday we ever had!

It was my birthday trip and I was thinking about the same old Spain trip, Ucman saved me with an amazing trip to Slovenia. I was expecting some nice hotels and views but he went all the way, I went rafting, hiking, diving, cycling, had a floating breakfast in a pool in the mountains and his specialties, the beautiful spas. I feel like I have had the trip of my life. Thank you Ucman for making it so special for me.

Ucman was great from the start to finish and helped me create the perfect Japan trip. I am almost 70 and wanted to do things at my pace. He made sure of this and also left a few really nice surprises throughout the trip. I loved the surprise forest bathing activity, he loves adding these wellness elements to trips and I wish I had known about him sooner. Already booked our family trip with him. I definitely recommend him if you want a memorable trip.

One of the Top 10 Road Trips in the World: Wakhan Corridor and Pamir Highway, Tajikistan
Tajikistan is an unknown country to most Western tourists, but it brings crazy rewards. The country of mountains (93% of Tajikistan is mountainous), lakes and incredibly friendly people is an incredible missed opportunity. I would go back in a heartbeat and so should you.
