About you
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
I love exploring new places (especially secret beaches and hiking trails), food, and cultures – and absolutely love all the people I get to meet along the way!
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
What’s your go-to travel hack?
My favourite plan is to have no set plan at all – usually just wander by foot in a new place and go wherever I’m drawn to. It always leads to the most unexpected experiences and adventures.
Got any gear you can’t travel without?
What destination are you eager to go back to?
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
This can be tricky when travelling solo – but it’s always important to let others know where you are or where you are planning to go so they can track your whereabouts if anything were to go wrong.

What’s your favourite word in another language?
This is such a hard question, I have so many! “Ikigai” is a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being” and is meant to represent finding happiness, purpose, and meaning in everyday life. And also “Il Dolce Far Niente” which is essentially the Italian art of doing nothing.

About you
A few years ago I quit my office job in Germany and travelled through New Zealand and Australia for 1,5 years. During this time I learned a lot about myself and I absolutely loved my life overseas. I decided to never give up on my dreams and always fight for what I believe in. When I got back home I was looking for a job to work with animals (my goal and dream for a long time). I was lucky and since then I work for a beautiful animal sanctuary in Salzburg. The mountains, the animals and the lakes in this area make me very happy.
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
I don’t want to live according to the norm. I love to find new places, experience new cultures, and meet new people all over the world. I like myself best when I’m out exploring and it makes me really happy to see our planet. I want to live my life to the fullest. Every day.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
I’m into everything. I like adventures that pushes my adrenaline but also like the peace and quiet. I guess it has to be a good mix of both. My biggest adventure is travelling by myself. Everything else falls into place anyway. And I am very spontaneous.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
Don’t be scared to get out of your comfort zone. It might be scary at first but I promise once you open your heart and trust yourself you will accomplish the greatest things. Go for it and never give up!

What destination are you eager to go back to?
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
Always listen to yourself. If you don’t have a good feeling about something – don’t do it. I have done a few wild things like hitchhiking through New Zealand for example. People would always call me crazy because I was only 22 years old and all by myself. But as long as you are feeling good with what you are doing and are always careful and thoughtful about everything you will be fine. Trust your gut!
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Couchsurfing (App): It’s a great way to meet locals. People all over the world offer their ‘couch’ to travellers to experience different cultures and bring the travel vibes into their home. This for me is the best way to experiene a destination like a local and most of them would always show you around. Also a great way to make friends everywhere in the world.
What’s your favourite word in another language?
No worries
When and where are you next travelling?
As soon as possible I will book a flight and travel back to Australia!

About you
Hi, my name is Jes and I am from India. I am a working professional with a traveller’s heart. I began documenting my travels in 2018 and I mostly write about adventure activities, hotel reviews and share my travel itineraries.
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
Travel makes me happy and alive. Trying out local cuisine, meeting new people, learning about the historical places gives me happiness. Travel is my Ikigai.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
I love all sorts of adventure sports. Skydive, Bunjee Jump, parasailing, trekking, snorkeling, I have tried them all. While shortlisting a country for travel, I figure out if the country has any Adventure activities and accordingly I plan my travels.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
My absolute go to travel hack is keeping my money in an envelope in my handbag. This has saved me during my Turkey trip. While traveling in a tram in Istanbul, my wallet got flicked. Luckily the money was kept in an envelope in my handbag.
Got any gear you can’t travel without?
I cannot travel without a power adaptor.
What destination are you eager to go back to?
I would love to go back to Turkey hands down.
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
Travel in a group. Avoid walking on the streets alone at night. In my last trip to South Africa, we hired a local guide and the guide was with us throughout the duration of our stay. Having a guide helped us as goons were weary of approaching and intimidating us.
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Spend more time in one city / country instead of just running around and covering multiple cities/ countries. Do what the locals do, sit back , relax and have a cup of coffee watching the people pass by.

I love Korean and am very influenced by K-pop so my favorite word in Korean is Hansamida.
