Sara | @expathaven
Lives in Brighton and Hove, Storbritannien
A serial expat and passionate travel planner, I'm here to inspire and empower your future travels, so you can take the stress out of travel planning and just enjoy the ride. If you're curious about moving abroad but need someone to bounce ideas with or ask question, I'd be happy to be your sounding board too. My name is Sara, I'm originally from Sweden and I've lived in the UK for over 7 years now. I'm passionate about travel, learning about new cultures, and discovering new places. This far, I have been fortunate enough to live in 4 countries and visit 28. I love planning trips and excursions, and I wish to share my excitement, recommendations and travel tips&tricks with you. When I travel myself, I tend to look for beautiful views, good places to eat and/or people watch, and good value places to stay. I tend to look at budget-medium-splurge options when I plan and depending on what budget that specific trip warrants, I'll have a recommendation to meet it. I have first-hand lived-in experience of places like Stockholm, Vienna, Atlanta (USA), Michigan (USA), and Brighton (the UK) as well as lots of travel experience around Europe, but I also love to research new places and create travel plans based on specific wish lists or criteria. If you are looking for a personalised guide or itinerary for a specific place, please reach out and let's have a chat.

Shanna Schultz
Lives in Montgomery, MN, USA
Hey! I am Shanna. I am a family travel expert who has been to over 45 countries, and I can't wait to help you plan an enriching, life changing trip with your kids! It is easy to plan a pretty trip with lots of fun stops and neat things to see (heck, AI can even do this for us now). Why should you work with me? The difference is that I have been an ACTUAL travel agent in real life. It is really easy put together all sorts of fun things on an itinerary on paper, but being responsible for creating dozens upon dozens of trips for families that actually happened and worked gives me a whole different level of expertise that most of the folks on this site don't have. It means that I am only going to put reputable suppliers into your itinerary that I KNOW will give you the experience that you are looking for. It means that I am going to look at your itinerary from a bird's eye perspective, looking for friction points or possible problems. It means that I feel a higher level of RESPONSIBILITY for making sure your trip goes as planned. Travel experience is irreplaceable, but it is also SUBJECTIVE. Having been a travel agent means that I combine my extensive travel knowledge WITH hundreds of hours of actual education about destinations. I have spent over 25 years of my life in the travel industry, including time in the hospitality/hotel world, the airline world and also as a travel agent. Having visited over 45 countries, I truly believe that travel changes lives. It has given our kids a deeper perspective on the world. Travel has made them flexible and adaptable. It has opened their hearts to other cultures and shown them that our actions truly have global consequences. THIS is my why. As a family, we seek out immersive, authentic travel experiences that enrich our lives, deepen our understanding and help us create lifelong family memories. Life is so busy. I love helping families make uninterrupted time to be together creating those memories.

Petra Udomprasert
Lives in Bangkok, Thailand
Hi! I'm Petra! I’m Thai, born and raised. My business is based in the US, but I call Thailand and South Korea my homes and have lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for several months. From my years living in Thailand and my annual 2-month-long visits, I'm especially knowledgeable and up-to-date about Thailand, its trends, and its culture. What are the coolest things to see and do (not necessarily the most touristy ones!), where are the best places to find authentic food (places that say "authentic" are out of the question), and which hotels have the best service... I can give you all these insider-level tips! I've lived in the US since 2015. As a digital nomad, I don't have a city or state that I'm based in, but I know LA especially well having lived there permanently for 8 years. Another of my expertise is South Korea, Seoul specifically, and Korean culture and history in general. Having grown up learning the language and visiting so often (14 times and counting), I can comfortably count Seoul as my second home. And I can confidently give you the best insider tips to Seoul just as well as Thailand! My travel style is culture-based. I love having deep connections with the local culture and people wherever I visit. So you won't find beach clubs or nightclubs much among my recommendations. Basically, if it is something you can see and experience at home, I'm not recommending it!

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 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.

Alexis Harrison
Lives in Dallas, TX, USA
Hi, I’m Alexis! 👋🏽, a travel enthusiast, custom itinerary creator, and passionate foodie born and raised in Dallas, Texas. My love for travel started young, thanks to my mom and grandma, who took me on my first international trip to Negril, Jamaica, when I was just 15. That first taste of adventure sparked a fire in me that’s been burning ever since. I’m all about traveling in a way that feels authentic and leaves a lasting impact. When I’m not crafting personalized itineraries for others, you’ll find me diving into the local food scene wherever I go. There’s just something about savoring street food from a hidden market or indulging in a dish that’s unique to the region that makes me feel connected to the place. Food is such a big part of my travel experience; it’s how I get to know a destination from the inside out. Recently, I ventured to the stunning islands of Bora Bora and St. Maarten for the first time, and both trips were pure magic. From crystal-clear waters to vibrant local cultures, each place had its own charm that left me in awe. I’m always on the lookout for experiences that go beyond the usual—whether that’s discovering a hidden gem of a restaurant, wandering through a local market, or just taking in the everyday beauty that makes a place unique. I believe in creating travel experiences that are more than just a checklist of sights; they’re about diving deep into the culture, tasting the flavors, and living every moment to the fullest. I’m here to help you experience travel in a way that feels genuine, personal, and unforgettable. Let’s make your next journey not just a trip, but a story worth telling! Follow along, and let’s explore the world together.
