Kate Jane
Lives in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala
Hola todos! I'm Kate. Full-time traveller and vanlifer. Are you looking for something out of the ordinary? Let's plan your trip of a lifetime! My speciality is local insight, how to immerse yourself in the culture of a new place, free activities and sights to see. Since the age of 17 I have been obsessed with immersing myself in new places and cultures. I have visited more than 40 countries in my 28 years and I have now been travelling full-time for the past 2 years, and plan to continue forever! I have travelled in many different ways and on very varied budgets. These include solo, group and family trips; backpacking, hitchhiking, camping, travel with pets, wild-camping and van-life; low budget, very low budget as well as luxury travel; work and volunteering; fast-paced to very slow-paced, and many more. I have developed the skills to understand new places through the eyes of many different kinds of traveller and I am also acutly aware of how tailor-made, insider information can completely change the nature of a trip, especially if you are on a finite time-scale. For this I'm here to help! We will spend our first conversation learning about you, your personality type, preferences, boundaries, budget, style of travel and how risk-averse you are, to help you plan extraordinary trips and prepare yourself for life-changing experiences.

Barbora Šedivá
Lives in Mazunte, Oaxaca, Mexico
👋🏼 Hey there, I’m Barbora! 🇨🇿 Born and raised in the fairytale city of Prague, I’ve got a knack for finding magic in every corner of the world—whether it's devouring tacos in a charming Mexican village or climbing a volcano in Guatemala 🌍 ✈️ After chasing degrees in literature (because who doesn’t love getting lost in a good story?), I packed my bags and settled on a never-ending journey through Latin America. Now, I’m living the beach life in Mazunte, Mexico, but you’ll still catch me hopping around the globe—especially if there’s good food or a unique experience involved 🏖️ 💼 By day, I’m the operations mastermind at Prague City Adventures, where I craft tailor-made itineraries and help visitors make the most of their stay in my beloved hometown. By night, I’m dreaming up new journeys across Central America for backpackers, solo female travelers, adventure seekers, and anyone else who wants to explore the world on their own terms. 🏅 What I'm good at: • getting out of my comfort zone • low-budget trips • eating my way through my low budget • solo travel & slow travel • authentic experiences • supporting local businesses 🙅🏽‍♀️ What I suck at: • splurging • wellness recommendations • luxury holidays • indoor skiing • staying at home 📷 @barcheeba ⇢ Follow me on Instagram for some travel pics and plenty of cats 🐈‍⬛

Jahel Ramirez
Lives in Provincia de Cartago, Cartago, Costa Rica
Hello fellow traveler! I´m Jahel from Costa Rica. I´ve been a nomad for the past 4 years, and have dedicated my time to exploring charming corners of Latin America. I´m passionate about slow travel, I have found there is an undeniable allure to the idea of slowing down, savoring each moment and immersing oneself fully in the beauty of travel. I believe that travel should enrich your soul, broaden your perspective, and inspire you to live life more intentionally. I invite you to explore the world, not as a tourist rushing through a checklist, but as a traveler immersed in the tapestry of culture, nature, and human connection. So, whether you seek to wander through the cobblestone streets of historic cities, hike the winding trails of pristine wilderness, or simply savor the simple joys of life, I am here to help you curate the journey of a lifetime—one that unfolds at the perfect pace for you. As a Slow Travel Designer, my mission is clear: I want to empower you to explore the world at a pace that allows for genuine connection, cultural immersion, and personal rejuvenation. My services are not just about crafting itineraries; they're about crafting stories. Stories that unfold slowly, chapter by chapter. Welcome to a world where the destination is just the beginning, and the journey itself becomes a work of art.

Lacey Keigley
Lives in Greenville, SC, USA
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.

Bethany
Lives in Denver, CO, USA
Hi fellow travel lovers! I'm Bethany, an explorer with a passport stamped in 52 countries. Having called three different nations home, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for the cultures our world offers. By day, I navigate the realms of a full-time job outside the travel sphere, which fuels my passion for crafting concise yet insightful guides to the remarkable places I've encountered. Embarking on a journey with me means embracing a blend of adventure, relaxation, and immersion in local customs. As a solo female traveler, I've ventured through 21 countries, and I'm here to share insights on safety and the empowering experience of navigating the globe alone. A glimpse into my roots reveals an American spirit born in Seoul, nurtured in Germany during my childhood, and blossomed in the United States. A decade in the vibrant DC area enriched my life with a wealth of experiences that I'm eager to recommend. Now, I find myself based in Denver, Colorado, brimming with tips for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and hiking and camping in the summer. Whether it's strolling through historic cityscapes or savoring the diverse flavors of global cuisine, I'm an enthusiast for walking tours and foodie adventures. Balancing a demanding full-time job with an insatiable wanderlust, I make it a goal to take at least three international trips a year, and monthly domestic trips. Join me on this adventure, and let's explore the world together—one destination at a time!

MAGGIE | ONWARDS TRAVEL
Lives in New York, NY, USA
I’m Maggie: lover of the ocean, craft beer, and Google Maps. I am a certified travel advisor with the amazing company Fora, where custom itinerary building and destination research is my specialty. I hope to use Thatch to reach likeminded travelers and share my knowledge in a fun, accessible format. My passion lies in people and human connection — this is why I travel. My goal: make travel available to everyone in a way that transcends your Instagram discover page. While social media can be a wonderful tool for education and research, it is impersonal. I aim to use my interpersonal skills developed over years working as an actor to create truly unique travel memories that will surpass anything AI or search engine generated. Schedule your free consultation, shoot me an email, or DM me @maggiedanielli on Instagram — and let’s plan that next trip together. ONWARDS, — Maggie ✈️ FREE GUIDES: https://www.foratravel.com/travel-guides-itineraries-and-trip-reports?advisor=maggie-pecorino 📣 TESTIMONIALS “Working with Maggie was a dream! Her recommendations were exactly what we needed and planning our honeymoon with her was a breeze. She was very professional and handled everything quickly and efficiently. We will definitely be booking our future travel through her!” — Peter M. “Maggie was fantastic with offering multiple suggestions, various price levels and locations, with detailed reasons for all the lodging she had gathered for me. She was extremely helpful and flexible with tailoring all the wants and activities I wanted my vacation to be from sightseeing, playing golf, grabbing a refreshing drink, relaxing poolside, and seeing friends and family. Maggie was always timely with a response and really did a fantastic job in planning my trip. I know that Maggie is the quintessential traveler, and it shows in her ability to help plan and achieve the vision that people have when they find a great travel advisor to maximize their journeys.” — Pat N.

Luna Around The World
Lives in London, UK
Female Solo Traveler | Traveling on a Budget Scuba Diving | Outdoors Adventures Hello!! I’m Luna 🌙 and I'm a little addicted to discovering the world, both above and below the water! I mostly travel solo and I'm usually on a budget (the cheaper I can travel, the more I travel!), but I'll invest more money for the right experience (Hot Air Baloon in Cappadocia, I'm looking at you!). In every job I've been at, I was known as the "crazy traveler" - you know that person that lands at 5am on a Monday and is in the office at 9am? or the one jetting off for the 2 days weekend every other week? Or the one that always comes back with some crazy stories? all of the above... it's me! I would like to think I’m quite a curious and adventurous person and I’m always up for trying new things, discover new foods and meet new people. There are not many things I wouldn’t be willing to try and I can’t think of any while writing this. I enjoy exploring new places, discovering new cultures and trying the local foods, but I also enjoy a good hike, a day by the beach and a crazy adventure! I strongly believe I should have been born a mermaid as I absolutely love the water, I’m a scuba diver 🤿 and I’m currently certifying as a free diver 🧜🏻‍♀️ . While I wait for my mermaid tail to grow, I want to see as much as possible of the land-based world. I’m originally from Italy 🇮🇹 but I’ve lived a little bit around California, the East Coast of the US, Barcelona and Scotland before settling in London where I worked in Marketing for 5 years. As of August 2023, I quit London and my corporate life to take a break and travel more, so stay tuned as more and more content will appear here and on my Insta!

Jesse James Johnson
Lives in İstanbul, Türkiye
Hey I'm Jesse :)! I am an open-minded really curious guy who seeks to expand his comfort zone continuously, I am really passionate about life itself! I actually like a lot of things, apart and within traveling, I love to learn, love trying new things, love to eat, drink and cook, love sports, love to study, learn and apply. Love to get to know the World, their people and their cultures. I love to share what I can to make places a better place... I've covered 32 countries in 2 continents so far, and my last trip started 11 months ago and counting. Some years before I used to connect European Travelers with Indigenous Communities Destination in Panama. I consider my travel style to be a good balance between, getting lost in things that people usually passed on, but are truly worth stopping by but without missing the major landmarks of the place... I like the feeling of finding a nice "not usual" place and to be the only traveler there, full of locals, trying to remain the most "localish" possible to see the true colors and behaviors of some spots... On my trips I usually adapt either to a slow pace (as sometimes I make places my base, because I work remotely), which provides a lot of time to explore, or to a pre-determined shorter time. (from a Day-trip all over to 2 or 3 weeks) What I truly believe is part of me, is the skill to adapt to different environments with ease, and after a couple of days feel myself like at home, I genuinely feel lucky about that I can travel and connect with the world, and I would like to help more people to do it! Go for your dreams my friend!✨
