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!

Backpack Aleks
Lives in Reykjavík, Islandia
Hi! My name is Aleks and I have been full-time travelling for the last 7 years. During that time I visited 4 continents and 37 countries and am still discovering more. My travels started during my university years, which often meant a tight budget. Instead of giving up travel I just decided to become resourceful and find the perfect itineraries that still fit my tight budget and let me explore the world. On this account, I will be sharing many of the tips and tricks I learned along the way as well as full itineraries that I did and you can follow. My first years of travel were typical backpacking style, hostels, moving from place to place many people and experiences. But as time went by I was also able to do more comfort travel, renting a car with friends and going on road trips. Either way, before every trip, I spend weeks planning and researching and it's one of my favourite parts of the adventure. However, I know it can be overwhelming and tedious at times so I decided to share my research and my itinerary with you. At the moment I still mostly do backpacking-style trips - many destinations, constantly on the move and discovering as much as possible. So if you are looking for an active itinerary you found a perfect place! ✨Testimonials ✨ 'Wow. I am super impressed by the itinerary designed by you. You are meticulous and consider all requirement from us and also consider other aspect. The itinerary format is superb and very easy to read. A lot of effort is done in this itinerary. I have never seen any itinerary as good as your. Thank you! 😊😊'

Samara
Lives in Seoul, South Korea
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.

Please feel free to save, share & suscribe ☺️ I'm here to help make your travels tailored experiences that inspire you to see the world from a new perspective.

I enjoy slow traveling as I understand travel as a way to experience, discover and connect, creating a positive impact on the destinations we travel, in terms of environmental preservation and regeneration, and also the enrichment and well-being of local communities and cultures 💪🏼 I'm a Spanish expat living in Chile with my husband and 3 kids. 16 years ago, we lived in Mexico City, then in Madrid, later in Boston (USA), and currently (for the past +5 years) we've been in Santiago, Chile. I've traveled to +46 countries (many of them multiple times) and I don't want to stop ✈️ I've always linked my personal life and professional career (film production for many years) to the need to plan and travel. I speak four languages (the fourth one I kind of make it up, but people understand me). I'm interested in all topics, I'm curious and passionate, efficient, detail-oriented, and adventurous. I'm happiest in nature, biking with my family, spending time with my friends, walking on the beach, relaxing in a nice hotel, reading a good book in the shade, taking photos non-stop, and I have music in my veins 🎶📖🚲🧘🏻‍♀️🌿🚶‍♀️
