Welcome to my travel shop. 👋🏻 I'm Lena, originally from Germany but have called California, Mallorca (Spain), and Chile temporary homes over the years. When I don't travel, I like to spend my time with landscape photography, digital product design, baking, and drinking overpriced coffee. My goal here on Thatch is to offer you more than travel guidance. I'm dedicated to bringing value to your future trips by sharing my carefully curated itineraries, expert tips, and, most importantly, the priceless locals' perspective. Why should you work with me? Because I've lived it. I've walked the cobblestone streets of Valldemossa, Spain, set out to find the best cardamom bun in Copenhagen, and hiked the W-Trek in Torres del Paine, Patagonia. Because I've made mistakes, taken detours, and found hidden gems. I've learned from every step of my journey, and I'm here to share those lessons with you. Love, Lena P.S. Connect with me on Instagram or check out my blog @thegoodlandbeyond, where I share even more travel tales and tips! ✨ Testimonials ✨ "I admire how carefully my wishes were taken into account when the guide was created. I'm looking forward to the trip and can confidently say that my expectations have already been exceeded. " - Anastasiia "Lena's guide is organized, easy to navigate, and informative. We never questioned where our next place to stay was or where to grab a bite to eat. The guide was well thought out and took the pressure off the logistics, so we could focus on having a good time. I highly encourage others to use her guide if you plan on taking a trip to Europe." - Sue "The Portugal/ Spain trip could not have been planned any more perfectly for two old guys like Stuart and I who have no travel experience at all. Every place you picked for us was magnificent. I am sure no one else would have put such love, care and attention to detail for such a trip." - Arthur

Hey, I'm Sara! Luxury Travel Designer / Travel Content Creator / Passionate Traveler 🇪🇸 Mum of 3, expat in 🇨🇱 Expert on adventure, off the beaten path, boutique & luxury trips for families, couples & groups focused on nature, sport, culture, outdoors & wellness 🌱 Here you can access my guides, itineraries and travel services. Please feel free to save, share & suscribe ☺️ I'm here to help make your travels tailored experiences that inspire you to see the world from a new perspective. Because traveling is so much more than just boarding a plane, and everyone needs a different kind of journey 🚀 🌎 I know very well most of Europe, North & South America (where I currently live), Caribbean, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Morocco, Indonesia & Australia. I enjoy slow traveling as I understand travel as a way to experience, discover and connect, creating a positive impact on the destinations we travel, in terms of environmental preservation and regeneration, and also the enrichment and well-being of local communities and cultures 💪🏼 I'm a Spanish expat living in Chile with my husband and 3 kids. 16 years ago, we lived in Mexico City, then in Madrid, later in Boston (USA), and currently (for the past +5 years) we've been in Santiago, Chile. I've traveled to +44 countries (many of them multiple times) and I don't want to stop ✈️ I've always linked my personal life and professional career (film production for many years) to the need to plan and travel. I speak four languages (the fourth one I kind of make it up, but people understand me). I'm interested in all topics, I'm curious and passionate, efficient, detail-oriented, and adventurous. I'm happiest in nature, biking with my family, spending time with my friends, walking on the beach, relaxing in a nice hotel, reading a good book in the shade, taking photos non-stop, and I have music in my veins 🎶📖🚲🧘🏻‍♀️🌿🚶‍♀️
