The story behind
I’m Patricia, founder of Beyond Trails & Tales. I started travelling because I didn’t know what to do next. I packed my life into a 40-litre backpack booked a flight, and went on my first solo adventure. Two months later I came back way more confused than I ever was – I experienced so much and realized how many opportunities are out there.
But then it randomly hit me on one afternoon – it wasn’t the sights I kept replaying in my head – it was the conversations I had with strangers, it’s that night where I booked an adventure with a girl I knew for 36 hours at that point. It’s the friends I made on a random ferry. And I desperately wanted to show others that travel was never about seeing anything…
An unexpected conversation followed this realization up – two months later, Beyond Trails & Tales had a name and a website. A year later, we became a travel agency – and today, we plan adventures with the same idea in mind – there is so much more beyond the surface – in our group trips we sing under the stars with the people who were strangers in the morning… In our customized travel plans we don’t just book hotels and flights for you… we find the spots where only locals go… And with our ready-to go guides… you can discover cities beyond the ordinary, and see the hidden gems, not the mainstream attractions.
In our quickly growing team we currently have four amazing members, who help achieve your dream adventure, Beyond the ordinary.
