Sasha Raikhlina
Lives in Boston, MA, USA
Hey! I'm Sasha and I'm an avid traveler. I find a place I like and I explore it until there is nothing left to explore. Since 2022, that place has been Portugal (and the Azores Islands), where I have travelled at every opportunity I get - six times thus far. I have explored a different location/aspect/travel modality each time. From taking trains to get around the country, to renting a manual transmission car and getting stuck in the summer heat on an uphill off-the-map backroad of a vineyard in the Douro, to cycling from Lisbon to Sintra on three broken gears - I've done it all. Well, most of it! And I've made enough (beautiful!) mistakes along the way that I can also guide you as to what NOT to do and how to create beautiful memories and lasting connections. Although my expertise in Portugal and the Azores, I'd also be happy to guide you around my hometown of Boston and the beautiful surrounding nature in the region. I have peaked all 48 4000 footers of New Hampshire and have done 30+ mile single day hikes in the White Mountains and in Acadia National Park. Call me restless, but I love to seize everything life has to offer. A middle school teacher by day, I enthusiastically help my friends and family create itineraries and book stays for their vacations to Portugal, Azores and elsewhere. They always tell me - "Why not do this for a living?" I figured I might as well try.

Dalia Farawla
Lives in Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy
Dance, Food & Culture. I've lived in Spain, Egypt, Panama, Florida and California for years. My passport is American (y hablo español), but I'm a citizen of the world 🌍 having spent more of my life outside of the states than within it. I can help you determine which CARIBBEAN island you'd like most, which city in SPAIN fits your personality, where to go in Paris to dance, which cities in FLORIDA are worthwhile if you like history, culture, beaches, night life, or attractions, exploring EGYPT's pharaonic, Christian, Arabic history as well as it's beaches! Just ask away. 📞 Let's chat about food, dance, culture, activities and low-key, less touristy locations. 1. Give me a feel for your personality and interests. Would love to meet you. 2. Based on that convo, I'll suggest an itinerary in: - Panama - Lisbon - Spain - Egypt - France - the Caribbean islands - Florida Also ask about the countries in the region. Of course, when I was living in each of these areas, I traveled through the region, so I can help you hone in on cities and activities that fit your personality. And if you're a dancer we MUST CHAT before you travel❗ My dances are Salsa, Bachata Sensual, Tango, Kizomba/UrbanKiz. After 28 years of traveling to train in dance I can maximize your fun and help you experience a meaningful, unforgettable trip with other dancers. More about me: This past year I've split my time between Miami, St Petersburg (Florida), France, St Martin and St Barth (French Caribbean) with a Tango-filled trip to Buenos Aires in between! Dance training is one of my biggest passions and motivator for getting on a plane. Mixing in your passions is the ultimate way to travel. 😉 And who doesn't like food? I've got to admit, though, that as a former Lifestyle Editor and with frequent trips to Paris... I'm spoiled. Expect foodie recommendations! HABLO ESPAÑOL 📞 ¡Sería un placer hablar!

David Morard
Hey,  Thank you for stopping by and reading my bio. My name is David Morard. I grew up in the Swiss Alps, raised by a Spanish mother and a Swiss father. Lost amid a cultural blend, I have struggled to feel at home anywhere. It is what, I believe, has set me on the path of a "nomadic lifestyle".  (sorry for using this phrase but It does explain well) From an early age, I was already curious about different cultures and would be intrigued by people's nationality and country. Having the chance to grow up speaking two different languages (French and Spanish) didn't feel enough, and my first extended trip took me to New Zealand to learn English. Since then, the itch in my feet hasn't stopped.  As much as travelling has always been appealing, finding the style of travel I loved took me some time. I even slowly made a career in hospitality and tourism, starting from helping in hostels across South America to managing a boutique surf camp in Indonesia. But this is enough of my little person; in the end, I am just another lost soul that can't stand still somewhere, and when I get bored, I move somewhere else.  However, through this path, I wasn't too bad at planning and decided to name myself a travel designer and start "Unnaut." A travel platform focused on designing conscious travel itineraries. I promote slow-adventure travel by the ocean and help you get the most out of the culture of the country you would like to travel to.  Here in Thatch, I will be sharing spaces I have discovered and have loved to spend time at. Spaces I would like you to enjoy in your future adventure. And if you would like something that reflects you, just hit me up. ✉️ info@unnaut.space 🌐 new website coming soon

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.

Emily Gladys Toll
Lives in Banff, AB, Canada
As I begin this journey into travel "influencing", I asked myself: What makes me a great travel content creator/ “influencer”? This was my answer... Travel is my OBSESSION. It begins with the foundation of my education. I studied Hospitality, Hotel and Restaurant management in college. I also have my WSET Level One, which is sommelier studies or the beginning of the process of becoming a sommelier. I studied in Niagara on the Lake which is in the Niagara region of Ontario. Niagara Falls isn’t but 20 minutes away. It’s like the Las Vegas of Canada. So tourism and travel to that area is off the charts. From there my heart got called to the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Which is arguably one of the most desired destination spot in North America, never mind the world. Over the span of 5 years I have worked in two world renowned Hotels and a Ski Resort; Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Banff Springs and Banff Sunshine Village Ski Resort. This period in my life is where I truly discovered my passion and obsession with traveling internationally. In 2014 I discovered my love for Backpacking and seeing all parts of what a country has to offer. This journey started with a month long trek in the incredible country of Panama. Traveling as the only female, with a group of male colleagues, to around 5 different regions of the country, learning the culture, the language, and the depth Panama holds. The next country I spent a month in was Belize. Again, roaming the different regions, food and activities you can find in one of the most beautiful Caribbean countries. Other countries I visited during this period of my life were Costa Rica and Jamaica. Then came the beginning of a new chapter and adventure; Bali Indonesia and then Australia for two years. Australia is where I met my man. My visa expired the end of 2018, he got his and we moved back to Banff where we have lived for the last 5 years. During covid, we did a lot of exploring the west coast of Canada. Uculet, Tofino, Vancouver, and the Okanagan. After covid, we then did a two week trek exploring Baja California Surr in Mexico and the world class beaches that state has to offer. We rented a car and drove literally all around the province. And recently we just got back from exploring the insanely beautiful country of Portugal. Again where we rented a car and drove all around the country side. All the way from Nazare to the Algarve Coastline and everything in between. I’ve stayed in countless hostels, hotels and resorts. Worked and dined in dive bars and 5 star restaurants and everything in between. Spent 2 years living and working abroad in a country on the other side of the planet from everything familiar to me. Having visited 9+ Countries in the last 10 years, my twenties were truly dedicated to exploring as much of the world as I could with what I had. And because of these experiences, I completely understand the value and quality of a whole range of travel experiences; from camping in Tofino, too dining at the Shangri La in Sydney Australia. Now that I have stepped into my thirties, I am completely ready for more, to see more and experience more of this incredible planet. My passion and excitement for capturing and experiencing beautiful moments in time that only happen once in a lifetime, is truly what I live for. I believe and wish for everyone to have the opportunity to experience breathless moments in captivating unfamiliar places around the world. Stuart and I are currently working on Vlogs about our latest trips to Mexico and Portugal and also have very big plans of overlanding the west coast of Canada, the USA and into Mexico. So keep an eye out for these coming adventures💕

Ani Danelz | National Park Guide
Lives in Houghton, MI, USA
Welcome to my (and hopefully our) adventures! I have lived all over the United States, and I have a passion for the outdoors and budget-travel. My style of travel is easy-going, yet filled with adventure and excitement. I focus on connecting with people and community, as well as immersing myself in the outdoors as much as possible. Finding a balance between these two have led to some amazing memories, and I cannot wait to share them with you. Most recently, I lived in my car for over seven months, while I visited every National Park in the lower 48. I hiked, camped, met amazing people, and hiked some more. I got to experience the parks like a local, because I had no timetable, no flights to catch, no rental car to return, etc. Some parks I stayed only for a few hours, and others for over a week. I chatted with park rangers, stayed with people that lived nearby, and camped with others at some amazing campsites. The travel guides I share give you an "insider" look at the national park, with tips for the best hikes, tricks for finding campsites (but I always include hotel options too), as well as information about the various aspects of the parks. I hope that you will use these guides as tools to fuel your next national park adventure!
