Recommendations
Having traveled to several destinations multiple times, I have tried a lot of different activities, walks, restaurants and places. I can suggest the best regions to stay, secret spots and hidden gems. Tell me about your trip, where are you going, why did you chose this place and what is on your bucket list (Christmas atmospheres, dolce vita feeling, surf vibes and other). If you chose an outdoorsy holiday, I can provide you with lists and websites of mountain huts, hiking routes and packing+food recommendations.

ABOUT
👋🏻 Hello | Bienvenue | Bienvenido | Willkommen 📍Lyon, France My name is Darja, I am a young German expat currently living in France since 4 years. I work part-time for a German Travel Company as a Tourguide which organizes group travels, itineraries and activities. My travel style is solo female, group travel, low-budget, backpacker friendly and adventurous, that includes camping in the mountains or at beautiful beaches, doing sporty activities, exploring vibrant city nightlife and get to know locals with their food and culture. When I plan a trip, I love to research a lot, to be prepared for any kind of situation and also not to miss out on an amazing opportunity. I love surfing and often travel to test different beaches and spots. Our environment and nature is very important for me and I would always opt for slow and sustainable travel when possible. To most of the places in Europe I went by train or bus, so I know a lot of hacks and routes for this form of transport. I also don't eat meat, so testing all countries for their veggie foodie heavens!

Questions
Can I book more than one travel creator at the same time?
Yes! In fact, many of our customers book multiple travel creators for help with various aspects of their trip. For example, you can have a consultation call with one creator, but then book another to plan and organize your itinerary.
