Travel has always been the most inspiring thing for me, getting to know other cultures, places, landscapes has a huge impact on me.
For me, traveling is not visiting, is LIVING that place as your own.
Let me help you live the unexpected.

How did you get involved in travel?
"When i was 16 years i made a onboard year far from home, that was the first time i was truly in touch and living other cultures and traditions. From that time i haven´t stop traveling any chance i have, this curiosity has taken me to extraordinary places and people. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of the things my family enjoys the most is traveling together; we love road trips, it make us so close, full of different memories. We made a road trip from Mexico City to New Orleans for New Year, It took us 2 weeks but we saw incredible places, had amazing meals, chats and photos.
The phrase "It´s not the ending it´s the journey" never made so much sense. "

The Spar Hotel Gårda (Gothenburg) location was too far from Center of town.
The Transportation arrangement was very good.
The wrong location was given to us for the food tour meeting point in Stockholm. We have to run around to get to the correct location. The phone assist team during the trip was very helpful.
Maria did a great job organizing the trip.
We had a very good time! Read more
