Imagine a journey full of hidden gems and personal tips – that’s what I’m here for!

My specialties include: 👩🏻‍💻 One-on-one travel advising 🏙️ City trip planning 📅 Itinerary creation based on your personal preferences I’ve also created multiple city guides for your convenience: My guides focus on: 🗽 Must-sees of the city 💎 Hidden gems 👩🏻‍💻 Personal recommendations 🏨 Places to stay 📅 Itineraries ranging from 3 to 5 days 🍴 Places to eat and drink ⛪ Bookable experiences 💡 5 must-knows about the city before traveling About me: I was born and raised in Amsterdam, but the travel bug caught me, and now I split my time between sunny Torrevieja, Spain, and the bustling city of Dubai while traveling the world. My love for city trips started when I was 16, thanks to my mom who made it a tradition to take me to a new city every year. Since then, I've become obsessed with planning perfect trips, finding hidden gems, and hitting all the highlights without wasting any time. For the past 10 years, I've been a tour guide, leading trips all over the world, and worked at a travel agency where I created trips. I love the planning process and the thrill of visiting a city for the first time with a well-thought-out plan in hand. I've traveled to over 20 cities and can't wait to explore 20 more. In addition to Amsterdam, I've also lived in San Francisco, Dubai, and of course, Torrevieja. Each of these cities has given me a unique perspective and insider knowledge that I love to share.

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!

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!
