I’d like a day to last longer than 24 hours… so that I can take the time to accompany my customers on their travels to the 4 corners of the world, put a little gastronomy in my kitchen or be more involved with my children!
A trip to remember?
India is one of the world’s most fascinating countries in terms of its cultural, economic and social diversity. Many years ago, before the economic emergence of this great country, I had the chance to work on a humanitarian project in Puna. I was amazed by the kindness and cheerfulness of the people, despite their destitute living conditions.
Her next travel destination?
I’ve traveled a lot and lived in different countries in Europe, North America (where I’ve also lived), Asia and Africa, but I still know very little about South America and can’t wait to discover this immense continent with its breathtaking landscapes and inhabitants.

I loved the Venezuelan steppes in Barinas, the endless flat landscapes impressed me. My trip to Brazil also left an indelible impression on me, especially when I entered the bay in Rio de Janeiro by boat. I imagined the journey of the first Portuguese settlers.

Roraima, on the border between Venezuela and Brazil via the Amazon. There is a national park where you can visit the tepuys (high plateaus).

Every corner of this country is magical. The landscapes are magnificent, the cuisine delicious and the cultural richness unique.

Aleksander,

A trip to remember?
I loved doing my Erasmus and internship in Lithuania! I’m often asked why I chose Lithuania and I strongly urge people to go. The landscapes are beautiful (especially the dunes of Nida, Klaipėda and even the Hill of Crosses), Lithuania’s culture and history are unique as it’s one of the oldest countries in Europe. The locals are very respectful and kind to tourists, especially if you try to speak Lithuanian!

A trip to remember?
My motorhome road trip through New Zealand in 2011 remains an unforgettable experience. The South Island left a deep impression on me: the landscapes around Mount Cook, the glaciers and the fjords of Milford Sound are breathtaking.Raw, grandiose, almost unreal nature.And then there was Auckland and Eden Park, for the quarter-finals and final of the French rugby team. A crazy atmosphere, incredible international fervor, in short an intense moment engraved forever in my memory.
Her next travel destination?
Japan particularly appeals to me for its unique balance between ancestral traditions and avant-garde modernity. Canada appeals to me just as much for its wide open spaces and unspoilt nature. I remain deeply passionate about travel and am always enthusiastic about the idea of discovering new destinations, cultures and encounters, whether for adventure or simply to enjoy authentic and enriching experiences.
