"Atithi Devo Bhava" is a Sanskrit term which means "guest is God". In India we treat our guests like God. I've been working as a German translator in multinational companies for the last 9 years, but my dream has always been to work in the travel industry. Travelling is my passion and I'm glad I'm part of this industry now. I focus on my clients' travel by keeping only one thing in the mind, how I would like to be treated in another country. I make sure my clients feel safe and comfortable in a new country and can enjoy their trip to the fullest. I plan your trip where you can have a close look at Indian culture, food and nature and also meet local people.

"The best experiences I have had in my life are:
1) I stayed in an igloo in Himachal Pradesh and fulfilled my childhood dreams.
2) I lived in a 12th century fort in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. I've always wanted to experience the luxury and historical atmosphere you get in places like this, it's hard to put into words.
3) I visited India's most beautiful island Havelock and took a day trip to Barren Island to see India's only active volcano."
