My
Story
I’m Monika, a lifelong traveler, seeker of the unknown, and curator of journeys that leave a mark. For the past 17 years, I’ve explored the world beyond the obvious, diving deep into cultures, landscapes, and human connections that you won’t find in any guidebook.
Originally from Poland, I’ve spent the last 13 years based in the UK, but my heart lives out there, somewhere between the Mongolian steppe and the backwaters of Senegal.
I’ve journeyed solo across over 60 countries, from sleeping under desert stars with Berber nomads in southern Algeria to sailing through the remote Mentawai Islands with no signal and no schedule.
I’ve hitchhiked through the Pamir Highway, sipped fermented mare’s milk with Kyrgyz shepherds, and danced barefoot at midnight festivals in the jungle heart of Papua New Guinea.
These are the places I live for- the unpolished, uncurated, deeply human corners of the world!
But remote doesn’t mean rough all the time. I know the other side, too. I’ve booked first-class flights, stayed in five-star heritage riads in Morocco, and lounged poolside at cliffside eco-resorts in Sri Lanka. Luxury, to me, isn’t about the label; it’s about intention. Whether you're after soulful simplicity or elevated indulgence, I know how to balance both.
Because I’ve been traveling since a young age, I’ve built strong relationships with people across the globe. Locals, fixers, guides, artisans, chefs, and storytellers, who have become like family. Thanks to these connections, I can offer my clients rare, genuine experiences that the internet simply can’t deliver.
Fancy a multi-day trek through the Peruvian Andes, learning to cook on a tiny stove beside your tent under the stars? Or diving with whales off the untouched Togean Islands after days of island-hopping with fishermen? How about picking rice in the misty hills of Sapa with a Hmong family before sharing a home-cooked meal by the fire?
These are just a few examples of what becomes possible when you don’t just plan travel, but live it.
​
I don’t design cookie-cutter itineraries.
I craft journeys. I listen. I learn what moves you, and then I use my lived experience and trusted network to create something uniquely yours.
Let’s go far- together.​
​
Mission
My mission is to craft deeply personal and transformative travel experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.
With nearly two decades of firsthand exploration, a vast network of trusted local connections, and an intimate knowledge of remote and lesser-known corners of the globe, I create journeys that are as soulful as they are seamless.
These aren’t trips you can find through algorithms or mass-market tour platforms.
They’re rooted in trust, lived experience, and authentic relationships with people who open doors to their worlds, because they’ve opened them to me first.
​
I aim to empower travelers to connect more meaningfully! With cultures, with nature, and with themselves, by offering access to stories, rituals, and places that truly transform the way we see the world.
Travel should never just be a checklist.
It should be a feeling you carry long after the plane lands.
Vision
My vision is to redefine what meaningful travel looks like in today’s world.
To prove that the most unforgettable journeys don’t require wild sacrifice, but intention, curiosity, and a willingness to go deeper.
I want to break the myth that remote destinations are unreachable, or that immersive, culturally rich travel is reserved for the few. With the right guidance and insight, anyone can step off the beaten path and into a journey that feels both expansive and grounding.
​
By connecting you with local communities, ancient traditions, and landscapes rarely touched by tourism, I want to show you that the world is not only accessible, but deeply welcoming.
Whether it’s a multi-day trek through unmarked mountain paths or a carefully curated luxury retreat with soul, my vision is to help you see that there is no one right way to travel.
Only your way, elevated.
