Personal Travel Planning

The same trip. A third cheaper. And a country the package left out.

Eight days across Scandinavia as a package deal: €1,500. The same route, planned myself: around €900 – plus one extra day and a side trip to Tallinn the package would never have included. That is what individual travel planning means. Let me show you how.
The story behind my trips

Why you should choose me

I’m not a travel agency. Not some salesman trying to sell you a package. I’m just someone who genuinely loves to travel – properly. Third class, uncomfortable seats, windows wide open, rattling through Kanchanaburi, while everyone else is stuck in a resort with no idea where they actually are.

That’s the experience I bring to your trip. All those hours of research that would otherwise eat up your evenings – I take care of that, and what comes out the other end is a plan that actually fits you. Not a catalogue.

And every now and then it gets properly interesting: one client needed tickets for a match that simply weren’t available in Germany. I sorted it through my own network. It’s not on any service list – but when something like that comes up, we’ll find a way together.

Individual, not package

The real country begins, where the package ends

In an all-inclusive resort the food is tuned to Western guests, and you catch little of the culture around you. Travelling individually means moving at your own pace, not tied to one hotel, not surrounded by the same faces day after day. You decide where to go – I make sure the plan works.
