I was barely a week old when my mom took me on a plane for the very first time. And it's been hard to stay off one every since. Hi! I'm Rayna - a native Bulgarian that grew up in Poland. I was 16 when we relocated (back) to Bulgaria with my family. That's when I started discovering my country, little by little feeling those patriotic roots inside grow. A 3rd culture kid, traveling is in my DNA. As of this day, I've been to 33 countries around the world. With so much more to explore, I am trying to find a healthy balance between between traveling abroad and getting to know my own country. My friends have told me numerous times to get into the tourism business given my passion for traveling. Oftentimes I spend go on endlessly talking about Bulgaria with friends and not only. I'd be happy to take you on a journey to discover Bulgaria by sharing my experiences with you.

Born and raised in Paris, I have lived most of my life in the French capital. I considered myself to be food obsessed, as I spend most of my free time looking for great places to eat and drink. I love sharing my favorite spots, it brings me joy to know that others will be able to have a good time as well. I’ve lived in Tokyo and visited Kyoto countless times, so I know some amazing spots to eat in both cities—especially ones that are great for tourists! In fact, I even wrote a guide featuring 160 incredible places to dine, called Délicieux. If you’re curious, you can find it on Amazon! You can find more restaurants reviews on my Instagram account alba.lostinfood.

Hi there! We are Debs and Becs, wife and wife team who are on a mission to explore as many corners of this earth as we can. We own a few businesses and run them remotely whilst on our adventures around the globe. One of our businesses, Pride Escapes, is relatively new and is focused around creating content that can help others plan their upcoming trips based on our personal experiences and knowledge about these areas. It sounds odd, but I (Becs) honestly enjoy the planning process of a trip as much as the actual trip itself. I LOVE spending hours researching a destination before we head off on an adventure and I always try to connect with local business owners of my destination to ensure I get the most out of a holiday. I figured that if I was already putting in the effort to plan my own holidays, perhaps it would be helpful to find a platform where I could pass this information on to others who maybe do not enjoy the planning part as much as I do. Our guides are also perfect for those who simply don't have the time to put into the research and want to have an extensive roster of information at hand for their upcoming trip. Wherever you're headed or whatever you need, we would be honoured to be a part of your travelling experience. Drop us a message or head over to our website for further contact information. - Debs & Becs

Hey! I'm Anneleen, a seasoned traveller who loves adventurous destinations. For you, and a bit for myself and my partner, I go in search of the most beautiful places on earth. For many years, we have been collecting the best travel tips for destinations we have visited ourselves. We compile these in handy guides on Thatch. Organising your own round trip is really cool, but sometimes you can't see it anymore in all the information that's on the web. Or sometimes you just lack the time and want above all to enjoy that holiday, without having to spend hours and hours working on it first. It is my goal to make planning your trip a little easier and, above all, more fun. By travel, I don't mean a beach holiday but travelling to enrich yourself, be inspired by other cultures and experience the richness of nature. That is travelling for me! And that's what I really want to share with you. Is your destination not listed, or would you like to see one of our trips adapted to your needs? Of course, that's possible too. We can talk via video call and I will work out your dream trip tailored to your needs.

I like being in new places more than the process of travel. Whenever I go to a new place, I like to spend some time there so that I can learn about the history and the culture. The best case scenario is to make local friends so that you can learn about the country from their perspective. Some of my cross-cultural travel highlights include: meeting my wife (and learning French because of her) and having all of my stereotypes shattered by my Middle Eastern friends. My desire to better understand my friends and their world led me to study Arabic and attend graduate school at the School of Oriental and African Studies - University of London where I learned about the history and politics of the modern Middle East. I am now passionate about helping people from the West discover the beauty of the Middle East.

Hi Thatchers, I’m a 25 yr old who started travelling as a teenager. From working my first job as a cashier as a teenager and saving everything to pay for a trip to India at 15, I have now travelled 16 countries, predominantly solo but also on group tours and with friends. When asked where my favourite place in the world I have to say the airplane and airports. I love the sense of unknown and the challenges that go with a different place. In my down time I enjoy being a nanny and studying my Masters in Teaching. I have loved exploring most of Eastern Australia from Rocky down to Tassie and out to the Desert at Birdsville. I enjoy spending as little as possible on my travels but experiencing the most out of my adventures.

Hi! We're Gabe and Manu. Do you find yourself idly searching Google flights with destination “Anywhere”? Do you spend your workdays daydreaming of random itineraries and mapping out the best way from Sofia, Bulgaria to Prístina, Kosovo? Yes? Then you’re just like us and would probably love some of the trips we’ve planned. No? Then maybe you hate travel planning and have come to just the right place. We are seasoned travelers who have been to over 50 countries. But we hate checking boxes and we are not trying to hit all the major attractions. If you want to run from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, we may not be the right guide for you. If you want to hit up the Hard Rock Cafe in Yerevan on a Thursday to watch a Filipino cover band play Nirvana, then I think you’ll like our style. We know we’re all strapped for time and it’s hard to really get to know a place in 7-10 days, but we are firm believers that it is possible. In our travels we try to seek out those places where you will catch a slice of local life. Where you will look around you and think to yourself, “I am a long way from home.” We love that feeling and even if you’ve never had that opportunity, we think when you feel it you will fall in love with travel too. So, please take a look at some of the itineraries we have to offer or let us know if you’d like something custom. We love building itineraries (almost) as much as we like traveling. Wheels up!

Hi! Welcome to my Thatch guides! I am a solo traveller based on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. I have been traveling solo for about 25 years (not bad for someone in their early 40s). I love exploring new places and spending on experiences, not things. Before I found Thatch, I would create Google Maps for each location I was visiting. While this served me well, it has nothing on Thatch. I love being able to set up itineraries for myself and others to simplify the travel experience. What will you find in my Thatch guides? * Easy-to-follow itineraries that will help you explore new places * Recommendations for activities and experiences * Some restaurant recommendations * Accommodation options at varying budget levels * Links to my travel Instagram for reels and more information Services I offer: * Guides and itineraries * Personalised itineraries * Travel consultation

Hi, I'm Jaya. I backpack full time around the world, always on a carefully curated budget. Somehow, I end up with loads of free accommodation, in rural areas of countries with locals, at festivals with a free wristband or travelling an entire country in a van for next to nothing. How I get through most of my trips is a shock to even me, but I always pull through with some of the most amazing experiences. I've been trying to figure out how I can best help others begin their travel journey, spend less or have a smoother ride. Thatch fell right in my lap and I couldn't be more thrilled to test this out! I want to be available for personally curated travel advice, for trip tips / guides to cities you've never been. If you need budget help I'm all over crunching numbers (weirdo, I know). I just have so many conversations with friends in my orbit, and I know in my heart I can help some others out there. Some highlights of my trips I'd love to share tips on; I flew from Australia to Europe for $360aud. I travelled in a van from north to south Portugal for $300aud for a whole week. I've volunteered in rural Indonesia teaching a muslim community English, I donated $90aud and I had free accommodation, transport and food for the entire 10 day stay. I managed to get 7 weeks free accommodation across a European Summer one year & saved thousands of dollars. I also want to mention, I'm a massive advocate for dining out, good coffee and good wine. I'm not much of a shopper, but will buy something if my wardrobe wouldn't survive without it (vintage, yes please!) I do travel very light with a 30L backpack that covered me for 5 months straight, & I still haven't seen the brand go viral yet? Everything I've learnt feels far too good to gate keep. So here I am ready to put it all on the table just 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 caught the travel bug and since then I've backpacked all over Southeast Asia, lived in Mexico, embarked on Vanlife across the USA and visited 25 National Parks, traveled to South Korea and Japan, & explored a ton more in Europe (among other places!). I have a passion for extended travel and helping others plan their trips abroad, no matter the budget! I love to travel in a High/Low fashion and aim to show others how budget travel doesn't have to just mean staying in hostels and limiting activities. Here, I will share my knowledge for efficiently booking the best flights & accommodations at the best prices to plan your perfect trip!

Hi there lovely souls! My name is Ann-Sofie (but everybody calls me Anso), I would describe myself as an easy-going, adventurous and spontaneous human being. I am 26 years old and I live with my boyfriend and two dogs in Belgium. In our spare time we are always exited to explore parts of this wonderful globe, with and without the dogs :'). We love exploring Europe with our rooftop tent and recently we've been to our first Asia trip to the Philippines. My travel journey started back in January 2022 where I did my first solo trip to Portugal. After that trip, it felt like something changed. I felt totally recharged. Now I remind myself to that feeling and I continue to book these solo trips now and then. You learn SO much about yourself, about your values and beliefs, your strengths and weaknesses. It's a never ending journey. Whenever I travel, I prefer exploring off the beaten tracks and to spend as much time as possible in nature (beaches, mountains, the ocean, hiking ...) but I also enjoy local authentic villages. I love to try new things, but I always need to push myself a bit. On the other side I also love to take some deep inner rest and to focus on my wellbeing. I recently started a travel Instagram with my boyfriend @soulfuljourneys_be - feel free to give us a follow. We help personalizing your trip and give you some raw travel content. Other than that, we love sharing a glimpse of our life. For me, travelling will always be a way to get out of my comfort zone. To learn about new cultures, talking to local people, trying out new things and taking time to sit and reflect with my thoughts. I am so eager to find the most authentic places that touches your soul. So it happens quite often that I plan last minute and impulsive trips. I do research to save places on Google Maps. Most importantly is that I always try to avoid the touristy places, because in the end those are not the places you will remember for a lifetime.
