From a young age, I never needed to be asked twice—”Would you like to go?” I was already packing! Almost every weekend, we hiked through the breathtaking Julian Alps of Slovenia, sometimes venturing into Italy or Austria. For me, it didn’t matter where—we could be anywhere, as long as I was moving, exploring and discovering. It’s no surprise that travel became more than just a passion; it became my career. I’ve travelled extensively across Europe, and since moving to Australia, my adventures have taken me to even more corners of this incredible planet. The journey is far from over!

Why I Travel?

Sometimes, reading a captivating book makes me long to experience a city firsthand. More often, it sparks a desire to wander through an art gallery or lose myself in the halls of a museum. When traveling as a family, I always consider how my children will see a destination—what will capture their imagination, what stories they will take home.

In Europe, I try to avoid the usual overcrowded hotspots. There’s always something incredible just around the corner, hidden gems waiting to be discovered—often without the long queues and the crowds.

What do you love that we do?

I absolutely love that we’re a street-front shop. Travel is such a personal experience, and being part of the local community means everything to me. It allows us to truly know our clients, giving each trip the time, attention, and care it deserves.

Within our team is a wealth of knowledge, and the best part is that we’re always eager to share it
