Hello! I'm Polina Isichenko. A mother and wife in an Italian-Ukrainian family, holding a Master of Arts in International Business by profession, and a travel enthusiast at heart who adores journey planning. This is the page of my travel agency. If you're already here, maybe you'll find that exact tour you've been wanting to take.
More than 20 years ago, I embarked on solo travels. From Kyiv to Norway, through all the Scandinavian countries, to the sunny destinations of Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal. A budget-conscious student, I lived in hostels, cheap hotels, and even with strangers. Encountering like-minded souls, discovering new places, and relishing the intricacies of the world became my reality. Later, Germany became home for me and my family, and now now we're carrying it over to the United Kingdom. Planning journeys isn't just my pastime; it's my way of life!
Travel can take on various forms. I favour the kind that goes beyond simple sightseeing. I always meticulously plan all the details of the trip, creating opportunities for new experiences, meeting interesting people, and immersing myself in an environment as if it were already familiar and dear.
My inner balance and harmony are, of course, sustained not only through travel. I love mountain hikes; in our time in Bavaria with family and friends, we covered hundreds of kilometres of steep and winding trails. Even earlier, I was used to restoring my life balance by climbing the mountain peaks of Hordaland in Norway and in the Ukrainian Carpathians and Crimea.
I also have a passion for photography, practicing yoga for many years, cooking fusion dishes from Italian and Ukrainian cuisines, painting, and attending theatrical performances. Italy is my favourite travel destination, as my family is half Italian. Italy, for me, is a place I return to in search of beauty, regardless of where our home is at the moment.
I plan my retreat tours as if they were for myself, investing all my life experience and putting maximum effort and attention to detail. If there's any special request, you can always reach out to me, and we'll figure it out together. I'm not a magician, of course, but adding a cheese tasting to the first day, upon the request of a very kind lady, I was able to accomplish recently 🙂.
