I always believed there is something magical about travel.As a young girl, I already knew that I wanted to travel the world, to experience and learn as much as possible about the beautiful, diverse places on our planet. I choose the travel industry path because I thought that having a job within the travel industry would allow me to travel.Well, that happened, but also, so much more! Through the years I held positions such as tour manager and travel advisor, evolving later on into product development and somehow ending in B2B sales. I have experience in many sectors of the travel industry, but tour operating is (by far) my favorite. I fell in love with the development of beautiful travel packages and itineraries that are unique and special. Every itinerary I prepare, to me, is just like a painting to a painter or a book to a writer, my little work of art, a piece of magic!I still deeply believe there is something magical about traveling, the fresh perspective it gives us when we learn about different cultures, habits, and ways of life, and the acceptance that we are all different, but still the same, to me, that is the magic of travel. Now, more than ever before, as a travel agency owner I hope to inspire and help people travel a bit slower in order to have a deeper impact.The impact for the traveler will be a deeper immersion into the culture that causes a small but irreversible change within, a broader understanding of the world that creates true love and passion for life and for travel, with every new trip! The slower pace of travel also makes a deeper impact on the destinations and small businesses we support starting from small, boutique-style, authentic, family-owned hotels, to amazing service providers such as guides, drivers, entertainers, and artists... Travel should help us grow as individuals! The mixing of cultures should help us expand our views, understand better, accept, and love all the humans on this planet.

I love to find users' problems and solve them with modern technology. I firmly believe that the best way to achieve business success is to ask, listen, learn daily (especially from mistakes), and be adaptable. I'm a tech-passionate hands-on person which thinks strategic while working in the "machine room".I have enjoyed more than 20+ years of invaluable experience leading and developing successful projects, consistently achieving outstanding results. I could grow expertise in Banking, Finance, Insurance, IT, Travel, and AI throughout the years, always accepting new challenges. After many years of working internationally, focusing on Asia, I took the plunge into self-employment by setting up a global platform for travelers. My experience so far has taught me one thing: respect for all those who take on challenges and dare to venture into entrepreneurship.I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. I love helping people. Reach out if you want to discuss the latest tech trends, future development in AI and SEO, or travel experiences.
