She has always been curious about the planet and over the last decade she has been around many places in Europe, US, Asia and Africa.

As they share common interests about nature, conscious traveling, cultures and life they joined forces and work together in “Active Tanzania Adventures”. They have been wandering around East Africa, discovering and gathering experiences and information about the “ATA” project. Her favorite quotes are that we all share one world, we are global citizens, nature is our home and traveling helps us deepen our understanding of both life and ourselves.
