Why I Travel

In our world of instant gratification, self-awareness and social media, we are often exposed to inspirational travel quotes with gorgeous background images of unnamed beaches, mystical mountain vistas, or exotic foods. Those are not why I travel - they are just fuel for my fire! Why do you travel?

For me, to travel is - truly - to live.

There is nothing better than exploring a new city. I’m not so much a “sights” person, more of a “senses” person – I love to wander the streets and find the local favourites, while watching the people go about their day, smelling the scents of the city and allowing my mind to wander. It brings me a deep feeling of peace to stroll aimlessly, window shopping and taking in all the tiny details that make a place, that place.

Some of my favourite travel memories have come from days spent far from the main attractions, music in my ears and happiness in my heart as I meander through an exciting location. Personally I prefer cities to the beach or the bush, but I am partial to tiny villages nestled in forests and foreign languages.

Why do you travel - ask yourself this question, the underlying reason, and together we will find the perfect next journey for you.

“It is better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times.” An Asian proverb, that sums up my approach to travel.

Here's to the perfect solution to solving your wanderlust - together!
