It's the thrill of exploring new cultures, savouring exotic cuisines, and diving headfirst into the unknown.

We are more about people watching and wondering among the locals, than hitting that world-renown monument. What sets us apart?

We make sure to find the gems that will show you true local experiences and assure you stares from the locals - "How did they find this?". 🧳 Why should you trust us? Because we've been there. We've navigated bustling souks in Marrakech, trekked through lush jungles in Costa Rica, and shared meals with locals in remote mountain villages in Vietnam. We've learned from our experiences, embracing the unexpected twists and turns that make travel so exhilarating. So whether you're dreaming of exploring hidden temples in Indonesia, embarking on a culinary journey through Greece, or seeking adrenaline-pumping thrills in the rugged landscapes of Namibia, we will craft an unforgettable adventure tailored just for you.

Hello there, fellow wanderer! I'm thrilled for you to be here. Let me share a little about who I am. Travel isn't just a hobby for me; it's a way of life. I'm deeply passionate about venturing into the unknown, uncovering hidden gems, and embracing the world's rich tapestry of cultures. As someone with roots in both Bulgaria and South Africa, I've been blessed to embrace diverse traditions, languages, and ways of life. My unique background has given me a profound appreciation for the beauty of multicultural experiences and a deep understanding of the importance of fostering global connections. For two unforgettable years, I crisscrossed the United States, soaking in its natural wonders, bustling cities, and heart warming communities. My journey also took me to the open waters, where I spent four enriching years on a cruise ship travelling. I'm a firm believer that knowledge is meant to be shared. With the insights I've gained from my travels, I'm here to provide you with valuable tips, recommendations, and advice to make your own journeys extraordinary.

Jiun-Wei Lai
Lives in London, 英國
Hi, I am Jiun-Wei from Tainan, Taiwan. I have been living in the UK for around a year. Over the past year, I have traveled to 19 countries on the European continent with a backpack. Overall, I have visited nearly 35 countries around the world since I was a child. Old towns, atmosphere, local food in the alleyways, architecture, etc., always bring me inexplicable peace. While traveling, I also carry on my job to find a balance between my life and career. Especially working in a variety of places can give me more inspiration and sparks. Not only did I earn a bachelor's degree in Tourism and Culture in Taiwan, but I have just graduated with a Master's degree in Tourism Management from Bournemouth University. Meanwhile, I obtained the status of tour guide and tour leader. During the period of schooling, it fostered my deep interest in culture and history. Moreover, exploring and tasting delicious food worldwide is one of my interests. Hence, the itineraries and the advice I arrange and make for customers are planned around slow-based and historically significant sights and cuisine to provide an enjoyable but alternative travel experience in such a fast-paced society. I have a deeper understanding that each country has unique characteristics and culture after traveling to a number of countries. For instance, the most stunning scenery I have seen is in Iceland; the most mysterious country is Armenia; the place with unexpected scenery is Malta; the most impressive is Jordan, while the most friendly country is Taiwan. Hence, all of memories I gained makes me want to digitize the travel experience and share them more specifically. I hope to help people all over the world feels effortless to plan each of adventure by compiling travel experience into well-organized guidebooks and itineraries that contains my personal travel tips and advice!
