Journey Beyond Destination

Drift away from the bustling streets on a silent, electric boat along Riga's tranquil waterways. Riga's canals reveal the city from its most intimate angle - glide under centuries-old bridges, past the magnificent National Opera, and alongside the historic Spīķeri Quarter. The Daugava River offers perspectives of Old Riga impossible to experience on foot.
Join me this August on a specially curated journey to discover Lush & Lovely Latvia. Only 8 spaces available.

💠 The Mosaic Perspective

When you’ve spent your life as “the different one,” you develop an instinctive respect for the mosaic of human experience. This perspective informs every journey I undertake, every trip I curate, and every story I share from the road.

Rethinking Adventure: Is It Time to Stop Traveling?
✈️🌍
Travel has always been my greatest passion—it's in my soul, and I know it always will be. Yet, I’ve seen how modern travel has become linked with overtourism, environmental pollution, and cultural exploitation, casting a shadow over what was once a transformative experience. I couldn’t imagine giving up the joy of exploring our world, so I chose to change my approach, particularly now that I’m a ‘tourpreneur.’ I committed to learning how to travel more consciously, aiming to be part of the solution rather than the problem. I want to share some insights I’ve gained that serve as a starting point on this journey toward mindful, ethical travel.

Hello friends,
I'm thrilled to share that our 2025 adventures are on the horizon! Last summer, a discovery trip to Latvia with my bff sparked my imagination and inspired a unique journey through this enchanting Balkan gem for August 2025—an itinerary that takes you both on and off the beaten path to experience Latvia's lesser-known treasures, nature, history, traditions, and inspiring culture. And that's not all—I’m also returning to Morocco in November for a sensory journey crafted from my own travels, with a few extraordinary touches to make it truly one of a kind. As always, every trip is ethically curated and steeped in cultural respect, with sustainability at its heart. Stay tuned for more updates and sneak peeks.

Wanderfully Yours,

Hello, my fellow wanderers 👣.

With spring announcing its arrival through budding flowers and chirping birds, I'm slowly emerging from a wonderful winter hibernation—a time of rest and reflection after last year's adventures. You may have noticed the silence on social media over the past few months; I took some time to recharge, learn from past journeys, and prepare for the incredible travels that 2025 holds.

I'm excited to be back, feeling motivated and brimming with new ideas to inspire your wanderlust. I have some exciting journeys curated for this year that I can't wait to share with you, so keep an eye out for fresh content that might just spark your next adventure.

For now, I wanted to reconnect and share a little news: we have a brand-new website and blog, and our vlogs on YouTube will soon be making their return. Stay tuned because 2025 with Journey Beyond Destination is set to be a year filled with meaningful travel news, adventure, and unforgettable experiences for the culturally curious.

Wanderfully Yours,
Zani

Did you know?

During Soviet times, Ussuri Bay near Vladivostok was used as a dumping ground for discarded beer, wine, and vodka bottles, as well as porcelain. Over time, the North Pacific's powerful waves washed the shattered glass and porcelain into millions of smooth, colorful "pebbles." Today, this once-barren and polluted area has become a beloved tourist attraction, known as Glass Beach. Visitors from around the world pay to experience its extraordinary beauty.
