How we started
My Journey: A Love Affair with Travel
Over two decades ago, I set foot in Africa for the first time. Kenya welcomed me with open arms, and from that very moment, I was captivated. Africa, quite simply, stole my heart.
Since then, I’ve explored the breathtaking landscapes of Namibia, Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa, falling in love anew with each visit. These journeys sparked a deep passion for travel that I could never have anticipated would one day become my profession.
During my teaching career, I discovered another kind of adventure: leading and organizing residential trips for schools. These experiences gave hundreds of children the chance to explore places and encounter things they’d never imagined. Watching them light up with curiosity and creativity in the great outdoors revealed something profound—the world outside the classroom is a limitless source of inspiration. It became a playground for imagination, a space for them to dream, design, and truly be themselves.
When I became a parent, my love for travel took on an even deeper meaning. I wanted my own children to experience the magic of discovering new places and leaving their own footprints around the world. Our family adventures have taken us to some incredible destinations, including Kenya, Lapland, the US, the Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica, Barbados, the Cayman Islands, St. Lucia, France, Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, Holland, Germany, Sweden—the list keeps growing.
Each journey has been a reminder of the power of travel to inspire, connect, and transform. And now, I’m here to help others create their own unforgettable adventures in the wild!
