Tetiana Smal
Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated by the idea of discovering new places, meeting people from different cultures, and immersing myself in the beauty of our world. This passion led me to pursue a career in travel, where I could turn my wanderlust into a fulfilling profession.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of exploring a wide range of destinations, each leaving a lasting impression on me. From bustling cities to tranquil natural landscapes, every journey has been a source of joy and discovery.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in tailor-made holidays to England, Scotland, and Wales. Your trip could include stays in bigger cities like London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Glasgow, or relaxing in the stunning coastal and mountain areas, staying in charming villages such as Bibury in the Cotswolds, Portree on the Isle of Skye, or Betws-y-Coed in Snowdonia.
For nature enthusiasts, discover hidden gems surrounded by breathtaking landscapes while savoring local cuisine and beverages in a sustainable way, harmonizing with the environment, which is so important nowadays. Take leisurely walks along nature trails, explore historic old quarters, and enjoy the serene beauty of the countryside. All in a slow, immersive style of touring, appreciating every view and experience in each destination."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My journey into the world of travel began during my university days. Driven by a desire to see more of the world, I started working as a guide on bus tours across Europe. This incredible experience allowed me to explore both grand cities and charming small towns, find my favorite benches in parks around the globe, and discover where to find the best coffee in almost every European destination.
These adventures not only enriched my knowledge of diverse cultures and landscapes but also ignited a passion for sharing these experiences with others. I believe that travel has the power to transform us, offering new perspectives and unforgettable memories. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"For me, every trip is unique, as no two journeys are alike. Each adventure brings new acquaintances, new flavors, and new experiences. However, my latest trip to Canada stands out as an unforgettable experience.
I spent several weeks exploring the region of British Columbia, a place where stunning mountains and hiking trails merge with the endless beauty of the ocean. The city of Vancouver, with its blend of diverse cultures, added another layer of richness to the journey.
One of my dreams came true on this trip—I saw whales. Witnessing these magnificent creatures filled me with childlike joy and awe. It was an incredible feeling that I will cherish forever."
