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.

Trina Phillips
Lives in Tamale, Ghana
Hi, I’m Trina, and I was bitten by the travel bug more than 30 years ago! I started exploring the world independently way back, and since 2017, I’ve been a full-time traveler, diving deep into the rich cultures of Southeast Asia (7 countries) and Africa (11 countries). Currently based in Tamale, Ghana, I’m all about experiencing destinations in a real, down-to-earth way—no luxury fluff, just genuine adventures. And starting in January 2025, I’ll be traveling overland from Ghana to Namibia in what I have creatively dubbed, Africa Tour 2025. My travel style? Comfort-budget. I stay in local spots that are as inexpensive as I can get and still be comfortable. I eat where the locals do and hop on public transport when it makes sense. However, I do slide up to mid-range now and again for an extra bit of comfort and for clients who prefer a softer stay. Whether you’re looking for vibrant markets, hidden gems, or cultural hotspots, I’ve been there, done that, and am more than happy to pass along what I’ve learned—honestly and without the hype. I’m a big believer in being upfront. My guides and consultations come from real experiences, and I never recommend anything I wouldn’t do myself. You’ll find my approach both informative and practical because I want you to have an incredible, stress-free trip. Whether you’re tackling the lively streets of Accra or searching for unique experiences across Africa, I’ve got the insights to help you navigate it all. And let’s not forget the creative side! I have a huge passion for arts and crafts, especially anything performance-related like drumming, so you’ll often find those cultural highlights in my recommendations. My goal is simple: to help you have the best adventure possible, with all of the fun and none of the hassle. If you’re looking for honest, practical advice from someone who’s been there and done that, I’d love to help you plan your next unforgettable journey!

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💕

Hello/Hola, I am Sylvia , I split my living time equally between Madrid and Las Vegas. Yes, it's true - there couldnt be two more opposite sides of the world,But you know the old saying - opposites attract. My passions are for Travel and wine. After all I am a WSET level 1 & 2 graduate. I can definitely recommend a great wine and food paring, a great bottle by region ,or based on your tastes. My travels so far have brought me to Spain, France, Italy, New York City, San Francisco and Syria - just to name a few. My real travels started when I decided to tempt fate, quit my job and travel alone to Spain and Syria to explore my family roots. The people, places and experiences were one of a kind, and those amazing adventures-fueled my passion for travel and new experiences. After all, ringing in the new year on the streets of Rome with complete strangers is pretty amazing! My mission is to inspire people who have never traveled before- to take that leap, and land in another country . Whether you are alone or well accompanied - you can do it . I would love to introduce you to the vibrant and complex world of wines .To the amazing bouquet and taste profile of a young red wine from beaujalais , or a whitefrom Raix Baixes, there is a wine for everyone. The craftmanship and talent that goes into producing an incredible bottle of wine is priceless. Your travel experiences will warm your soul, and spark new inspiration into your life . I am honored and thrilled to guide on your journeys. Trust me - they are going to be amazing !
