I am a linguist by education and my heart still skips a beat when language conundrums are in question. Working in translation and living in various countries (besides my home country Slovenia, also Spain, Portugal and Belgium) enabled me to always be in touch with other languages, but even more with different cultures and people from all over the world. Yet, no matter the environment, I was always The Organiser. Planning, managing, cooperating with people somehow comes naturally. Working as an Account Manager and later Programme and Operations Manager really strengthened those skills and gave them structure. I have gotten to know the Tours and Activities business inside-out. From the side of the tour guide, to being part of the building the business itself and collaborating with major OTA's. I was in charge of looking for talent and hiring too. My teams were international, some based at our offices and others remotely, either employees or freelancers we collaborated with. Being a part of a company that launched as a start up from the very beginning, taught me the need to diversify my knowledge and keep working on the the range of skills I gained. I am quite obsessed and completely in love with food and aIso slightly worried about what we are doing to this planet, so the topic of food waste has become a real passion in the last years.

Yes, I also adore travel. But who doesn’t, right?
