Meet Maya

Why should travelers choose you above other local in-destination experts?

I aim to offer travelers authentic and unforgettable experience revolving around nature, customs, culture and people.

What type of traveler appreciates your adventures?

Curious travelers, who would like to immerse in the local culture.

What is one of your favorite experiences which you’ve been able to build for guests?

In my tailored products I offer guests visits to small towns and villages, organize cooking lessons, singing lessons or demonstrations by local “grandmas” who prepare home-made products.

Share the one travel experience that you will never forget

A steam engine train trip through Bulgaria, including the narrow gauge train in the Rhodopean mountains.
