Hi, I’m Hanying, a Shanghai native. I lived in Shanghai for 22 years before moving to the UK for my postgraduate studies. During that year, I traveled to many European countries and cities, where I not only mastered the art of travel planning but also learned about the various lifestyles and travel customs of each place. Since 2023, China has implemented a visa-free policy with multiple countries, making it much easier for independent travelers. However, having lived in various countries, I’ve noticed numerous inconveniences for visitors to China during conversations with friends. This prompted me to start my TikTok account, where I share travel guides for Shanghai and offer personalized services on this platform. My mission is to ensure that every visitor not only sees the iconic landmarks but also experiences the unique lifestyle of Shanghai, feeling the city’s spirit of inclusiveness and innovation. As a young local and travel planner, I can help you discover Shanghai’s most fashionable, exquisite, delicious, culturally rich, and historically significant spots—far from the standard, repetitive touristy circuits.

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!

For starters, I am a passionate digital nomad constantly stuck between Seattle and Rome. One who has an insatiable thirst to inspire others to discover everything "Il bel paese" has to offer. Fluent in Italian and deeply rooted in the culture, I craft bespoke luxury travel trips with a local heart. I blend authentic culture, delicious cuisine, and high-end stays for unforgettable adventures. Let me guide you through 'l'italianità, ' the true essence of Italy. My lifelong love affair with Italy started as a child immersed around a devoutly passionate Italian grandfather and a mother who played operatic classics from Pavarotti to Bocelli since I was in my crib. I entered university only a few years after my grandfather's passing, and, with the influence of my Italian professor, I took the leap to live and study in Rome. Ever since then, I have dedicated the last seven years of my life to perfecting my language skills, traveling to almost every Italian region, and reconnecting with my roots in an even more sentimental way than I had ever imagined possible. That said, I like the finer things in life. Still, I also enjoy venturing into uncharted territory beyond my comfort zone to discover the essence of any cultural context I find myself in. However, I did not fully take the dive into pursuing this passion as a full-time vocation until April 2024, when I sold my previous business venture as an exit plan and entered a new stage of my life. I would love to dedicate my time to a venture that truly inspires me every day! My ultimate goal is to use my knowledge and passion to guide you on an Italian adventure that is not only magical but also an experience that will infect you with a yearning for "I'talianità" (the Italian spirit) that can only be tasted, heard, seen, and felt by seeing it for yourself over and over again.

Hello fellow traveller! I'm Nikhil, a travel consultant based out of Delhi, India. I've been lucky enough to work in the travel Industry for more than five years, and helped travellers explore the Indian sub-continent! I've had the chance to work with independent publications, online journals and discerning travellers to craft bespoke journeys for them. Researching and curating unique experiences that showcase India's culture, history, and natural beauty has always been my strong suit. While I wouldn't claim to have mapped out every corner of this vast country, my journey across India has been a deeply enriching one, that's constantly expanding. Whether you're seeking custom itineraries that reveal the hidden treasures of each city, or just recommendations for cosy boutique stays, or insider tips on the hottest bars and coffee shops, I've got you covered! Your adventure awaits! :)

Hi, I'm Kat a female business owner in Edinburgh, Scotland. I run small group and private walking tours. I specialise in Scottish history, film tourism (Harry Potter and Outlander) and the dark side of the witchcraft hunts in Edinburgh. I reside in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the UK - Leith. Which is famed for it's indie shops, coffee and street art. When I am not guiding around bonnie Scotland I like to travel. I have been lucky enough to travel to over 55 different countries. Usually now with my husband, but on occasion, but have been partial to a solo adventure also. I enjoy exploring bustling cities, enjoying the local food and finding unique places to eat. As a small business owner, I like to find independent places to try out. To me travel is the best education you can give yourself. When I am exploring a new destination I will delve it to the culture and history of that location, and I like to find off the beaten track sights. It is hard to define my favourite country, as I feel many places are special to me. As a keen photographer, the vivid colours of India was incredible. Alongside the vast landscapes of Iceland, where last year (2023) I was fortunate enough to elope there. My guides will be varied, my Scottish guides will be through the lens of a local. I have experience in the industry in creating Scottish itineraries and like to prepare personalised and tailor made plans.

Ciao ragazzi! I'm Tana, your Italian natural wine and craft beer expert. I moved to Rome, Italy for grad school and never looked back. I have a master's in sustainable food policy and have a decade of experience working hospitatliy, food and beverage. I am on a mission to visit every wine region in Italy and I frequently visit wineries, breweries and farms all over the country - now I want to share them with you all! Over the last decade I have lived and worked in Rome, Porto and Barcelona and I love finding small artisan wine bars, pubs and restaurants that support local and sustainable food systems. I made these guides to help conscious travelers seek out lesser known establishments where they can experience natural wine, artisan beer and delicious, responsibly sourced food.

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.

Hi, I'm Samara. I have lived in Seoul, South Korea for almost 6 years now. With a genuine passion for travel deeply woven into the fabric of my personal and professional life, my love for exploring new cultures has been a driving force throughout my career as a Kindergarten Teacher. My extensive travels across Europe, East Asia, and the United States, coupled with my innate curiosity, have not only enriched my own experiences but have also equipped me with a unique set of cross-cultural communication skills. I am excited to fuse my love for travel and turn it into a career. I have curated a journal of everything travel and beauty in South Korea, from Seoul, Busan, to Jeju and beyond. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, East Asia, and the United States, planning and booking each trip independently. As a solo traveler, I have cultivated a unique perspective on the intricacies of travel, from understanding diverse cultures to navigating various logistical challenges. As a solo expat moving to a new country it can be a scary and lonely start. The benefits though are finding cute cafés, bars, restaurants and more on my solo exploring of my new home base. You may rest assured that my recommendations are not only safe but tried and tested by me personally. So whether you're on a solo mission, with your family or friends, you can focus on enjoying your time exploring your destination. Because your safety and ease of mind is priceless.

I am an architect living in Milan. I was born in the Marche region and have lived in Turin, Japan, and Barcelona. I have been traveling since I was young, and even today, whenever I have the opportunity, I escape for a weekend, or why not, for a few more days. I try to include architectural points of interest in my travels as well. What never misses in my travels are tips from locals, good food, and living life to the fullest. I travel with friends, as a couple, but also by myself!

Hi, We’re Gabriele and Katy, an Italian-American couple of born explorers whose curiosity led us independently to some of the most remote places around the world, until our paths crossed on a trip ten years ago. Since then, we have traveled extensively together, especially in the Mediterranean basin: a region whose cultural and environmental richness captures our interest like no other. But it's to the main island - Sicily - that we can’t stop returning. Sicily, at the geographic center of this mythological sea, has been for millennia a crossroads of people who left an astonishing inheritance, making it a cradle of Western civilization. It is an island of endless sunlight, shaped by volcanoes, overflowing with history, beauty but also contradictions. It is a place where the complex natural and human history of the Mediterranean converged and developed in original and captivating ways. We now seek to share our unique expertise and knowledge of Sicily, coming from a lifetime of travel around the island, with like-minded travelers looking for the best quality experiences possible. We offer services developed with deep and unchanging passion for this place and, furthermore, through the eyes of an Italian biologist, geographer, sea lover and free diver and of an American writer, hiker and classic culture enthusiast. Our guides, itineraries and consulting services will give you the context of the place, detailed key information and plenty of options that allow you to design the travel that meets your interests, both to bucket list wonders as well as to hidden treasures that we have discovered ourselves. The philosophy that always drives us is the belief that knowledge is an essential ingredient for a deep understanding of the value and beauty of a place, a discovery that we hope can bring each of us to a new awareness, appreciation and respect for the diversity of the world, wherever we are. Buon viaggio!! More guides in production - coming soon!!

Hey there, I'm Susanna, but you can call me Sooz! I was born and raised on Denai’ina Athabascan land in Chugiak, Alaska. I'm a dual-US-Canadian citizen who has lived in: 🇺🇸 Alaska (25 years) 🇺🇸 Las Vegas (2 years) 🇩🇪 Munich (7 years!) 🇨🇦 Vancouver (currently home) I am a sustainable travel expert with Alaska, Europe, Western Canada, and Australia as my areas of expertise. ♻️ I am passionate about helping people understand and plan sustainable travel adventures, gain confidence in building responsible itineraries independently, or rely on me for help. I aim to make a sustainable travel approachable and align with your values and interests to make it fun and beneficial for you and the communities you visit. 🐝I have an MSc in environmental science. My thesis explored the intersection of tourism and the environment. I have worked in the tourism industry for over a decade as a local Alaskan guide, travel blogger, freelance writer, and academic. 🎒After my first backpacking trip to Europe 15 years ago and solo travel in Brazil, I started my first travel blog. It has undergone many transformations but is now a 100% sustainable travel resource. Travel left me feeling too big for my small town, and one day, I loaded up my trusty Subaru and drove to Las Vegas, where I met my now-Australian husband at a nightclub. That serendipitous encounter led to us moving to Germany, where we got permanent residency and lived for 7 years! 🚙My time in Europe was spent campervanning around Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Germany, Norway, and Sweden, hiking and snowboarding extensively in the Alps, and visiting many of Europe's incredible rural areas and national parks. I recently moved to Vancouver, Canada, where I hope to stay for some time and plan EV road trips! I travel back to Alaska and Australia often. I look forward to connecting with you and hope to inspire you on your next sustainable trip!

Hi, my name is Kristina and I am an adventurer passionate about slow travel. I’ve dedicated the last 5 years of my life to exploring the world, and gaining wider understanding on travel planning-especially budget friendly one! As I prioritize slow travel, I have chosen moving away from my homeland Serbia, and have spent 1 and a half year in New York, 6 months in San Francisco and around 2 years in Madrid. During my stay, I have done as much of traveling as possible, using up my days off, weekends and public holidays. I’ve joined this amazing platform in order to share my passion for my favorite places, as well as all the knowledge I have gained along the way. I will be sharing my favorite itineraries, budget tips, cultural insights, best coffee, places to eat, cool activites, and more. I can help you add the element of the authentic, local experience while abroad, and be of great help to different types of travelers, especially those with tighter budgets, traveling solo or studying\volunteering abroad. I specialize in Spain, though I am not limited to it, as I’ve had a lot of experience in travel while living abroad, where I have independently planned each and every one of my adventures. Hence, I am looking forward to helping you have the bestest time by taking care of that heavy planning part, so that you can fully enjoy your stay. I can help you out in 3 languages – Serbian , English and Spanish, so don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hey there, I'm Kayla! I have lived in New York City for over 10 years and have been traveling the world for more than 15. Through solo travels, those with friends, and group tours, I know firsthand what places you need to see on a trip, as well as those that you should see and may have never heard of. I am a history nerd, nature junkie, and huge sports fan, so my ideal trip combines all three of these things. I love ancient sites and exploring as many around the world as I can, am trying to go to all 400+ United States National Park Sites and all 30 MLB stadiums, and travel every four years for the Women's World Cup. If you are looking for guidance on where to take a short break, longer break, or adventure, I am your go-to. I can make recommendations on where you should look, tell you all of the things you can do in your destination, as well as the things you cannot miss. As I develop this page further, I want to be a resource full of fun facts and personalized recommendations on what you should do and where you should go. I have traveled to 34 US states, plus DC and Puerto Rico, and 38 countries. I've been giving friends my extensive travel guides for free for years, so now it's my turn to share with you. Living off a credit card and minimum wage for the first year in NYC with a ton of curiosity, I had to find ways to do everything on the cheap. I went to pay-what-you-wish nights at museums, found free things to do, and still very rarely do I pay full price for a Broadway show (and if I do, I know how to save at least $10). I can tell you about a lot of fun expensive things, but if you are looking to travel on more of a budget (it's a cruel world out there), I can help with that too. Travel is my passion, but I love rock climbing, softball, running, & reading too.
