KAJA

The daughter of a travel writer and a journalist, she spent a big part of her life backpacking around the world first with her parents and later by herself, sampling just about every type of low-budget accommodation, from beach bungalows in the Philippines to the hell-holes of Delhi, via a sleeping bag on the sand-dunes of the Namib desert, all the while collecting various nicknames along the lines of Bule Tinggi and Tall Lady.

Life goal: sampling every restaurant, food stall and hole-in-the-wall eatery in Asia (I reckon I'm about half way through), and marrying Stephen Fry. Not necessarily in that order.

LARA

Lara is a well traveled lady who has just returned from a crazy journey through Zimbabve and Mozambik on a motorbike. She remembers her early backpacking days when she was 17 years old somewhere in the middle of the bustling Indian market. As she says she can still remember it like it was yesterday. Full of chilly smells, cow’s shit and vivid Indian sari dresses. Her curiosity took her south all the way to Namibian dessert dunes, Venezuelan Latino rhythms, Kenya’s Maasai and Indonesian’s underwater wildlife. Lara is addicted to different cultures, places and lifestyles. All the experiences, photos and stories she combines with her studies of journalism, which she has upgraded this year while studying in Lisboa.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” (St. Augustine).

ALEŠ

A devoted traveller, Ales can be found somewhere in between wild bushes of Africa, busy streets of Rio de Janeiro or underground bars of Krakow. In the mean time he is our outdoor specialist in the hostel and  keeps himself busy with exploring the verticality of Slovenian Alps. If you want to know the names of all the 50 climbing routes in Mt. Triglav's north face, ask him.

PETER

A scout since childhood, Peter spends most of his free time tramping around forests and hanging off cliffs, except when the inner child (and pyromaniac) kicks in and he ends up burning down his neighbor's vegetable patch while having a go at fire-eating with his friends.

Time permitting, he loves to spend his holidays in a hammock on a tropical beach somewhere in Asia, meeting new people and trying to explain to them why he still has no Facebook.
