GET LOST IN NATURE AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF.

Our Story

We specialise in adventure tours to Slovakia, Georgia, Iceland, Greenland, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries. In each country we cooperate with local certified mountain guides. We prepare an authentic holiday for you based on our own experience from these places.

Experience of Pure Nature

All our tours are expressly designed to capture the true Nature Spirit and leave a feeling of unforgettable experience of merging with the purity in it.

Professional Guiding

We ensure that each member of the group receives encouragement, information and support, as well as safety and well-being at all times, especially in locations which can be prone to sudden changes of weather and walking conditions.

Carefully Designed Adventures

Each adventure is hand crafted and guided by me and my great local guides.

​Trekking easy and adventurous trips in wilderness, skiing and ski touring for beginners and advanced in remote places, you can sail with us in fjords far away from civilisation and chase the aurora borealis or admire whales, you can light a candle in a Buddhist temple high up in the Himalayas, cultural and relaxing trips, bathing in mineral healing spas, rafting or visiting the most spectacular caves that you can find in Europe, or combining all attractions together – sport, relax and culture – you are guaranteed a high quality, inspiring adventure that will keep you coming back year after year. Your adventure can be close to the Arctic circle in countries like Iceland and Greenland, or in the Himalayas – Bhutan, Nepal, or even in the heart of Europe – Slovakia.

Your holiday will be authentic in countries where I have been traveling myself and know them very well.

About me

Nomad since childhood

I was probably born in a family of some “Nomads” cause my parents took me on many trips and sometimes it happened that I was more on my skis in the mountain than in the school bench. But I am thankful that I know more about nature then I know about mathematics ? I have been trekking, skiing and exploring places as long as I can remember. My interest in traveling sparked in the early childhood.

My love for the mountains and people naturally led me into the guide world working for one of the most original and well known guiding companies in Iceland, where i mainly guide Glaciers, Trekking and Skiing Tours for people from all over the world on all levels – from easy to difficult. Since my youth I have been working also as a Ski Instructor for Ski Schools all over Europe and have a great passion for that. Guiding is not only my work but it is also my big passion and has fulfilled many of my dreams.

Experienced certified guide

​​Working for many years in this business I have passed a lot of training and have great experiences. I am a member of the Icelandic Rescue Team and the Slovakian local guides organisation (http://www.nslg.asto.sk). I have the Level 1 Avalanche and Ski guiding course through the Canadian Avalanche Association.

​​

I am fluent in English, German, Slovak, Czech and Polish, I can also get by in French and Icelandic. I have a Master degree in Translating and Interpreting of the German language.

 

My boundless energy and sense of adventure, combined with my level of competence and skills acquired from a lifetime of guiding will guarantee you the most exciting trip that I will be happy to prepare for you!
