With a background in sustainable management and tourism and experience working internationally, Cat is a travel enthusiast with a desire to share her passion with others.

Cat’s wanderlust was first sparked after a backpacking tour around Europe followed by a road trip across the USA with her sister. From then, she was hooked and has since ticked many destinations off her list e.g. the Pacific Islands, South East Asia and Australia. Her favourite experiences include seeing dolphins in Bali, getting traditionally tattooed in Fiji and of course, sampling the local cuisine.

She is now passionate about helping other people fulfil their travel dreams, as she knows how much travel has only improved her life for the better!

As a self-proclaimed ‘adrenaline junkie’, Laura is always saying yes to thrilling adventures. In the past, she has skydived, swam with wild whale sharks, bungee jumped and tracked wild gorillas.

Pernille has worked in the travel industry for many years. She has always held a great passion for travel, and travels as often as she can with her family. Pernille is the mother of three children, all of whom have been travelling since they were a year old.

“It’s hard to pinpoint a single travel experience, but travelling with children is very special. The experiences and memories you have together are priceless, and the children’s enthusiasm and relaxed nature make it easy to travel with them.

Some of Pernille’s most prominent travel experiences include her safaris in Africa, diving in Australia, a helicopter ride over Mount Cook, Koh Racha in Thailand and the sunset at the Grand Canyon.

Tom just loves Latin America. Having travelled there for the first time on a combined trip to Argentina and Brazil, he knew that Latin America is his favourite destination. He has since visited Peru, Ecuador with Galapagos, Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica and Cuba. Latin America has so much to offer: beautiful landscapes, varied scenery, incredible wildlife, fascinating cultures and a welcoming people, where dance and music play a big role.

There have been so many great experiences: the beautiful scenery of Patagonia, dancing tango in Buenos Aires, experiencing the beach life on Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, standing by the “sun gate” at the entrance to Machu Picchu, hearing all the sounds in the Amazon rainforest, coming close to the world’s largest waterfall, driving around in an American car in Havana, experiencing Costa Rica’s impressive wildlife, seeing the beautiful Mayan ruins in Mexico, etc.

Mira originally trained as a tourist guide and has more than 13 years’ experience in the travel and tourism industry. She has, among other things, worked on cruise ships and sailed back and forth between most major ports in the North Sea and Skagerrak – from Newcastle in the north to Copenhagen in the south. She also worked for many years as a guide and ski instructor in Sweden, Italy and France.

When not helping other people with their travels and experiences, she enjoys getting away herself. She has enjoyed several trips to the US, Canada, Africa, Asia and most countries in Europe.

“What impels me to travel and see the world is the fact that every time I land after a holiday, I return many experiences richer. My job of sharing these experiences with other travellers is a real pleasure,” says Mira.

Ingun has worked with us since October 2012. She originally trained as a physiotherapist, but is at her happiest when talking to travel-hungry customers.

Ingun’s heart beats for Africa, and she lived in Ethiopia for two years, where she taught at a local school. During her stay, she became quite adept at bartering with the taxi drivers in the local language, Amharic! She has also travelled in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, and has enjoyed several somewhat unusual travel experiences. She has drunk coffee with tribal people in the Blue Nile Valley, visited the slums in Nairobi and been on a traditional hunt with a bow and arrow in Tanzania.

One of the highlights of Ingun’s safari in Tanzania was the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. Ingun has also stood on the top of Kilimanjaro and is happy to give tips and advice to those who dream of doing the same.

Ingun is married and has three children who are looking forward to going on safari!

Mikkel holds a business degree and has more than 10 years’ experience of giving customers the best possible help and advice. He has also experienced several of our travel destinations first-hand, including as a guide in Thailand, where he worked for a year.

Having caught the travel bug, he remains eager to see the world – and to share the experience with his two children in the future, so that they, too, can experience the world with their own eyes. This might be the clear cultural differences displayed by the Masai in Tanzania or the Hindu population in Bali, while the children’s animal books are brought to life on the plains of the Serengeti or in the tropical rainforest in Thailand.

The world might be big and exotic, but Mikkel also enjoys his annual trip to Finland with his children and Finnish wife, where he spends time in the sauna and cross-country skiing.

Rikke spends her free time together with friends and family. She relaxes at home with a game round the family’s table tennis table.

Tanja has been in the travel industry for more than 15 years. She was away briefly to take a course in nutrition and health, but missed the industry too much and is now back with a vengeance! She loves the contact she has with the suppliers and airlines, as well as the challenges that this poses.

Tanja loves to travel herself, and had some of her best travel experiences in Brazil, Thailand and Tanzania. In Tanzania, Tanja had to push her own boundaries and say yes to grilled squirrel, taken down by the guide with a bow and arrow. Who could say no to that?

The next time Tanja is off, she will have her family, which now includes two lovely children, with her.

As a child, Anne Mette experienced Europe from the back seat of the family car, but in her teens, her passion for Latin America was born. Anne Mette has lived in Ecuador’s rainforest, Argentina’s metropolis Buenos Aires, Brazil’s southern beach paradise Florianópolis and Lima, the capital of Peru. She dances salsa and tango and speaks Spanish and Portuguese. Asia has, however, also been thoroughly explored, with lots of cookery courses, great diving experiences and temple visits.

Anne Mette loves to trek and to experience the countryside and wildlife at close quarters – and that goes for under the water, too, as she loves to dive in the warm water. The ideal combination is a lot of activity and then a little relaxation with a good book on the beach.

Kenneth has 12 years’ experience of working in the travel industry, and he works in our booking department.

A keen traveller, he has previously been backpacking in India and travelled to Costa Rica and Nicaragua in his student days.

Standing on Kala Patthar at an altitude of 5,164 metres with a stunning view of Mount Everest was the absolute highlight of his travelling to date.

Anne is from Germany and has an education in logistics. She loves to travel and has many good memories from her own travels around Scandinavia, Greenland, Iceland, Africa and the USA, where Anne lived for 6 months as a student.

One of her biggest travel experiences came when she was in Greenland and heard a lost whale calf calling for its family, before seeing them reunited a little later.

Anne has 2 young girls, and she is excited about showing them the world when they get a little older. She would particularly like to show them the animal life of Tanzania, which has left a big impression on her.

Ulla is an adventurous travel enthusiast with many years of experience in the travel industry.

Her career in travel started after business school, when she first went interrailing in Europe and then worked as a ski bum one winter in Austria. These experiences inspired her to attend guide school followed by three seasons as a guide in popular tourist destinations such as Majorca, Turkey and Austria.

Winnie originally mastered in history, but has travelled most of her life. As a girl, she travelled through most of Europe on the back seat of her parents’ car, and as soon as she had finished sixth form, she packed her backpack and set off on adventure.

Her greatest travel experience is probably the time she stumbled over a baby giraffe in Africa. Or perhaps the sight of the sun glistening on the snow-capped Aconcagua. A wedding in Thailand also features high on the list – or a totally unplanned road trip through Texas. She loves contrasts. She loves getting behind the façades in the countries she visits!

She started travelling as a young backpacker, and has been bitten by the travel bug ever since. She now has two lovely children who, thankfully, are happy to travel with her.

She loves nature and wildlife, but what fascinates her the most on the tours is how history is brought to life when you are standing on top of an ancient Mayan ruin in Mexico, for example.

Michelle has worked at TourCompass since 2012. She has a bachelor’s degree in International Hospitality Management with a specialism in Tourism.

Michelle has travelled extensively in Europe and Asia, as well as had summer holidays in the US and the Caribbean. Michelle has always found great joy in travelling – even if it is the second, third or fourth time she visits a destination, each time there is a new adventure or experience is discovered.

One of her most cherished memories is when she was invited into a local Hmong family’s home in the Sapa mountains. Here, she got to experience watching the clouds disappear over Longji’s impressive rice terraces. Some wildlife experiences she loved include meeting wild elephants in Minneriya National Park and seeing the colourful marine life in the Caribbean and the Maldives.

Michelle looks forward to travelling with her family and showing her son all the different ways of life.

Over the years, he has travelled in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. Some of his biggest memories were when his wife said “yes” in the middle of the white beaches of Turks and Caicos, or when he could tick off The Big 5 on his first trip to Tanzania. The Great Wall of China is also high on the list – or the stunning sunset over the Hong Kong skyline from Victoria Peak Viewpoint.

Christian spends his free time with his family, particularly with his two girls. He also finds great peace in listening to podcasts and working out in his own gym in the basement.

Dino has worked with marketing and commercial business development for more than 10 years, most of it in the travel industry. He attaches great importance to relevant, effective and unique marketing – and that our guests enjoy the experience of their lifetime, every time – as marketing doesn’t get better than that.

Dino has visited many of our destinations, and enjoyed a lot of amazing and unique experiences as a result. Getting a good night’s sleep is important to him and, according to Dino, the world’s best night’s sleep comes from sleeping in a tent camp in the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya.

He spends much of his spare time with his family, especially his three children. However, he also finds time for his friends every once in a while – and, according to Dino, a trip to the gym or a jog by the sea are great ways to relax.

And China holds a special place in Trine’s heart. Her stay in the country provided some of her greatest experiences as well as cultural, personal and linguistic challenges. Today, her love of the language remains intact.
