Jonas Protte

Geographer by training, I have been a tourist most of my life, living for 20 years in Mali, Vietnam and Sri Lanka and having the luck to take the time to explore all of these regions and their inerrant beauties.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize on the UK and France for now. Being a operation specialist and trip planing with my colleagues, to offer the best tailor-made experience for our travelers.
With an emphasis on authentic and immersive travel experiences as the best way to dive into a culture and come back home with a feeling of satisfaction and fulfilness. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"After some years working in the humanitarian and international cooperation sector in West Africa, I felt that I needed to get closer to my love for geography, traveling and especially sharing my experiences to people. Wanting people to be able to discover and feel the traveling experiences I've had is one of the things that made be jump in travel and tourism. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Having spent three weeks in Afghanistan in 2013 constitutes one of my most memorable traveling experience. Having the luck to discover Kabul, the Bamyan region and Mazar-E-Sharif while being hosted by Afghanis is one powerful human experience one could have. The amount of pride and honour they put in hosting foreigners was touching. I will remember the drives in the Bamyan valleys and the mesmerising blueness of the Banda Amir National Park Lake.
Such a shame this country is entangled in this never ending conflict because it would definitely be one of the most visited countries in the world. "

We had a 30 day trip so it involved quite a few hotels. We loved the variety of places that were selected and really enjoyed all the locations. Our guide in the Caingorms Steve Beddick was excellent. He had great knowledge of the history and the wildlife in the area. Our guide Chris on the Isle of Lewis was equally as exceptional and provided an excellent tour.

We had a 30 day trip so it involved quite a few hotels. We loved the variety of places that were selected and really enjoyed all the locations. Our guide in the Caingorms Steve Beddick was excellent. He had great knowledge of the history and the wildlife in the area. Our guide Chris on the Isle of Lewis was equally as exceptional and provided an excellent tour. Our accommodations in Lewis the Broad Bay House was one of our favorite locations. The Inn keepers were very skilled and provided a relaxing stay. The activities that were scheduled for us were all interesting and enjoyable. I wouldn’t have left any of them out. There were a few hiccups but someone was available to put things right cheerfully and in good order. You provided what we hoped for, a trip of a lifetime and we made many memories that we will cherish.
