“Travelling has always been my passion,
but I have never done it in a trivial way”
I have always wanted my journeys to be unique, exceptional, and beyond conventional routes, and recommended itineraries. Something that people would describe as ‘This is the one for the books’’! 10 000 km through Namibia and South Africa by car? Why not! Couchsurfing and hiking the most famous trails in Hawaii? Hell yes! Exploring Patagonia in a saddle and hitting the roads less travelled? I am in! Volunteering in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal? Sounds like a plan!
For many travelling is eye-opening in terms of learning about different countries and cultures, meeting new people, and trying new foods, however, there is a deeper aspect to it. To me, It is first and foremost a journey of self-discovery. Personal growth and new awakening experiences are what I seek out when I travel. People I meet become my teachers, and places I visit light my mind up with new ideas. Embarking on a journey to a new destination can open up your heart, teach you about compassion and humility, navigate your feelings in the right direction, and even reveal your true calling.
“To me, travelling is first and foremost
a journey of self-discovery”
So, after 12 years of travelling, often solo, I have developed a certain way of planning my experiences which I call ‘mindful travel’. It means I search for a deeper sense and meanings which can enrich me as a person - inside and outside.
It also means attention to detail. I do care about the places where I stay - who is the owner, what is the philosophy standing behind, are they environmentally friendly or are the spaces beautifully designed? These criteria are very important and reflect on the impression at the end. Also, regarding restaurants and cafes, I love searching for special places, which not only have a mission to serve food, but to deliver an experience that will be remembered for years later.
Finally, I preach self-fuelling experiences, the ones that make your heart sing and boost your body with energy. Whether it is journaling on the beach during the sunset or meditating in the mountains - I believe these little individual practices can elevate our minds, giving a new perspective on the place.
“At a certain point, I felt the urge
to share my experiences and insights with others, in the hopes of inspiring them to travel in a transformative way that would broaden their horizons and shift their perspectives”
Therefore, I started creating travel guides to my favourite destinations which brought the most self-growth to me and discovered the parts of myself I never knew had existed before. I have summarised all the knowledge and recommendations, so you can plan an adventure of a lifetime on your own.
Also, as a travel photographer and writer, I tend to choose places and things which tingle your visual and tactual senses, please your eyes and make you feel things. So if you are a desperate romantic, a hungry-hearted adventure solo seeker or a couple team, or maybe a visual aesthete with hedonistic inclinations - this might be something you find very useful on your future journey.
Mindful Travel Guides
I have designed these guides to help people plan their adventures in the style of “Mindful Travel” - with attention to detail, love for nature and design, a conscious approach, smart logistics but also off the beaten paths routes, visual and sensual aesthetics,
and a focus on self-discovery.
Each guide is a summary of personal experiences, knowledge gathered from fellow travel experts and photographers, but also deep research on a chosen destination. It is illustrated with my photos added with photography tips, detailed technical and location descriptions, top lists of places to eat, stay and visit, recommended experiences and pro tips about a country/place.
With the help of the guide, you can easily find out, what is the best time to visit, what to pack, and also read about possible itineraries to a certain destination which can save you tons of time of planning and $$$. Written by a photographer, dozens of pages are dedicated to the most photographic places and how to get there, what gear to pack, and how to take that “banger shot” that will remind you of this lifetime adventure.
