Hi I'm Michelle! I’m an American who lives in Paris on a Professional Liberale (Entrepreneur/Resident) Visa. Before deciding to make Paris my home, I visited the City of Light every year for more than a decade, and have a wealth of knowledge on getting around, eating, and having fun in (and outside) the city. Before moving to Paris, I worked as a Celebrity Personal Assistant to traveling clients. I coordinated itineraries for my clients and put the upmost thought to detail and care into each trip. As a (mostly) solo traveler, I put safety first in my adventures. I love historical sites (castles and ruins), shopping (vintage and brocantes), and finding the perfect cup of coffee (or hot chocolate.) In these digital travel guides, I share my travel tips and experiences with you so that you can plan your next adventure and explore a destination comfortably knowing you have one of my hand-picked, personally visited spots nearby. Each guide includes a wide range of restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, parks, transportation, personal notes, voice memos, and interactive GPS maps. I hope that these guides will inspire you to get out there and explore! ✨

👋🏻 Hello | Bienvenue | Bienvenido | Willkommen 📍Lyon, France My name is Darja, I am a young German expat currently living in France since 4 years. I work part-time for a German Travel Company as a Tourguide which organizes group travels, itineraries and activities. My travel style is solo female, group travel, low-budget, backpacker friendly and adventurous, that includes camping in the mountains or at beautiful beaches, doing sporty activities, exploring vibrant city nightlife and get to know locals with their food and culture. When I plan a trip, I love to research a lot, to be prepared for any kind of situation and also not to miss out on an amazing opportunity. I love surfing and often travel to test different beaches and spots. Our environment and nature is very important for me and I would always opt for slow and sustainable travel when possible. To most of the places in Europe I went by train or bus, so I know a lot of hacks and routes for this form of transport. I also don't eat meat, so testing all countries for their veggie foodie heavens!

Hi there, I am Sivan, a vegan & imperfect sustainable traveller. I like to visit off the tourist trail destinations, or if I do visit more popular destinations I like to do so as responsibly & sustainably as possible. I grew up in the Netherlands, lived in the UK for 16 years, and have lived in Marseille, France, for the last 4 years. I’ve also travelled to around 50 countries all around the world, and have meticulously planned all of them myself. Trip planning, is something I enjoy doing for myself, as well as for my family and friends, and is something I pride myself in. I do hours and hours of research making sure I find the best locally owned accomodation and immersive cultural experiences, to ensure I leave as much of a positive impact on my travels as I can. I mostly travel solo & once I get to my destination, I rely on public transport and overland travel as opposed to flying, where possible. Learning about the local culture & supporting local economies is important to me so I try and stay at either locally-owned guesthouses, homestays, or sustainable boutique hotels, and avoid big chain hotels or Airbnb. I also love looking for local vegan food wherever I go. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, make sure to follow along on Instagram @sivan_travelsgreen, and check out my detailed sustainable & vegan-friendly guides and itineraries here on Thatch, with a focus on ways in which you can support the local community of the places you’re travelling to. All the places mentioned in my guide, are places I have been to before, and all the itineraries I've tried and tested myself. If you need something more personalised/any tips or advice on a specific location, then we can get on a consultation call to see what I can do for you!

Hi! I'm Steph, and I've been an avid traveler since 2010 when I spent a month backpacking around Europe followed by a summer studying abroad in Greece.

I have a passion for extended travel and helping others plan their trips abroad, no matter the budget!

Here, I will share my knowledge for efficiently booking the best flights & accommodations at the best prices to plan your perfect trip!

I love traveling like a local but I'm not afraid to feel like a tourist too. I'm a "both and" sort of traveler. I want to travel a LOT so I need it to be affordable. I want to KNOW I am somewhere unique & special, so I'm willing to make that happen. I am a single mom so my expertise is in making it family friendly, fun AND affordable. And oh yeah - VERY memorable. I've had repeat visits to several locations - Colorado Springs, Denver, San Juan la Laguna, Utah, Virginia to name a few. And I adore treating my hometowns like vacation spots so I can tell you all you need to know about Greenville, SC and Travelers Rest, SC and Asheville, NC and Roanoke, VA - for starters! I'm also an ace girls trip planner. Just ask my friends who have accompanied me to cabins in North Carolina and Georgia, adventure trips in Midway, Utah, weekend stays in Savannah GA and Charleston SC and state park adventures across the United States. Themed trips are a special interest to me - especially ones centered around literature or reading. I've also traveled out of the country - Paris, London, Guatemala - with a lot of kids so I can make that accessible too. In fact - ACCESSIBLE might be my best travel descriptor and super power. I LOVE chatting about your upcoming trip and brainstorming ideas. I can go from - "I will plan every detail for you" to "Here's some highlights and you can take it from there" according to your own personal choice! Let's get you horseback in a national forest, parasailing over the ocean, electric bike riding across a mountain or touring Charles Dickens' actual home, visiting the birthplace of the Girl Scouts or having a picnic beside Thoreau's actual Walden Pond.

Hi! 👋🏽 I’m Sahani from Colombo, Sri Lanka. With 8 years of experience in the sustainable development sector and after visiting several countries and exploring my own backyard, my approach to travel has evolved. I realised I could merge my passion for travel with positive impact. ✅ What I'm a great fit for: Couples, solo travelers, hikers, and families who enjoy travelling consciously and sustainably, being in nature, soaking in immersive and authentic experiences, local culture, great food and off-the-beaten-paths. 🌱 What is conscious travel and why share it with you? Conscious travel simply means to explore mindfully, have transformative and authentic experiences, and leave a positive impact on the places we visit. I aspire to travel authentically—forging deeper connections with each place, understanding diverse cultures, embracing local ways of life, and weaving these encounters into stories that inspire others to explore. Through my lens, every destination becomes an opportunity for conscious exploration and a canvas for self-reflection. I also want to inspire you to explore mindfully, have transformative experiences, and leave a positive impact. ➡️ Follow me on Instagram, TikTok & Threads @Sahaniwanders for Sri Lanka travel, recommendations, tips, personal stories, and more. 🌍 PS: I'm an aspiring travel storyteller.
