About me

design private, made-to-order travel for people who want a trip to mean something — not just a break, and not just a seminar.
Two kinds of journeys. Live events with world-class teachers: three years taking people to Tony Robbins' UPW in Germany, time with Donny Epstein myself, and trips around Joe Dispenza and Dave Asprey. And deeper inner journeys: non-touristic Mexico — I've made three expeditions there myself and now take people to sit with shamans and look for real answers — and Bali, where I bring people for ceremony, ritual, qigong and trance meditation with guides I've trusted for years.
Every trip is one-on-one and built around the person, not a fixed package. I'm based in Bali and part of Tony Robbins' trainer team, with 20+ years of international business behind me — so the logistics are handled, I know these events from the inside, and the guides are real. You come home with both the place and the work you did there.

Why did you join the community?

I build bespoke trips around world-class events and deeper experiences — Robbins' UPW in Germany, time with Donny Epstein, shamanic expeditions in Mexico, ceremony and qigong in Bali. I joined to meet others in purpose-driven and experiential travel, learn how they run it well, and find partners who design journeys that change something, not just itineraries.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Bali — home since 2020. It's where I do my own inner work and where I bring people for ceremony, qigong and trance meditation with guides I've trusted for years. Beautiful on the surface, and very deep if you let it.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

Egypt — the Pyramids. Some places you go not just to see, but to feel something shift while you stand there. That's the kind of journey I'd love to build next.

What was your first travel job?

My first real travel "job" was organizing a private trip to Tony Robbins' UPW in Germany three years ago — that's where taking people to events began. Before that, international trade since 1998 simply kept me on the road across Asia for two decades.

What do you want to learn more about?

The craft of bespoke experiential travel — designing private journeys around big live events and deep inner work (ceremony, shamanic expeditions, practice) that are safe, real and worth the trip. And learning from operators who've built a lasting business around purpose travel.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Place. Purpose. Depth.
