About me
As an experienced and successful trip leader, I can't live without the adventure. And because becoming a first-time-mother is as exciting as exploring new places, I am currently pausing my group travel plans until 2027/2028 🤩🛤️.

The weekend with Maria was great. She had some fantastic ideas and told us so much about Helsinki; she’s super organized and really friendly. She gave me tips both before and after the trip, which made things easier for me since it was my first trip through Joinmytrip. I’m really glad I got to share this experience with Maria ☺️

Great organisation and communication! Maria was always very friendly, courteous, open-minded and considerate. She was well prepared and shared a lot of information about Helsinki with us. She was always available and helpful. It was a lot of fun to travel with her. She always spread good cheer, paid attention to everyone’s needs and you always felt very comfortable. Thanks a lot for everything and I hope I can travel with you again :)

Where to begin. Kuala Lumpur was a great experience. Quite a nice city, very affordable food and so tasty. The city might be underrated quite a bit. And then there's Singapore. Wow... it pretty much holds up to the hype. The city architecture is just mind-blowing, so green everywhere and very clean, even though it's not free from litter completely. So many different cultures blend into this beautiful city, where you also can get amazing food in the hawker centers. There's just too much to put all into this review. Marina Bay Sands😍. And it feels very safe and secure. Maria organised a very nice and balanced trip. It didn't feel rushed or have too slow of a pace, a nice balance. She is very easygoing, always smiling and in a good mood but still keeping control, making sure everyone is doing fine and enjoying the trip, also offering free exploration. It was an amazing trip due to the places, trip leader, and people in the group.

Maria planned and organized a fantastic, well-thought-out trip to Asia that I’ll remember for a long time. It all started with a great group of travelers who got along really well. The accommodations and transportation were very comfortable and of a high standard. The itinerary also offered a perfect mix of culture, city life, and nature. I felt at ease every single second and am already looking forward to the next trip.

This was my third trip with Maria, and it was just as well-organized and pleasantly led as the two previous ones. Maria always manages to put together a group that clicks perfectly and is a lot of fun to be with. The itinerary was packed, but super cool, and there was something for everyone. Overall, we had a great time together, laughed a lot, and experienced so much. I highly recommend her, and here’s to many more trips, Maria! Thanks for everything!!

It was my first trip with Join my trip and it was great! Maria is friendly and very well organized. My highlights were the Elves Village and Jeff-Jako. Two unforgettable moments. Would definitely travel with maria a second time.

I had the best time on the Lapland trip organized by Maria! From the very beginning, she put so much thought into making sure the group was the right fit and it honestly felt like traveling with friends. Her attention to detail with the planning was on point: from the clear packing lists to the perfect itinerary, everything was smooth and stress-free. Maria was always clear, warm and thoughtful. She made sure everyone felt included and managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it all feel relaxed and fun. She's the kind of person who can crack a joke one minute and sort out ten things at the same time, all without breaking a sweat. She was so accommodating to everyone’s needs, always checking in, making sure we were comfortable, happy and making the most out of every single moment. My favorite parts? Cooking and adventuring together! Maria, you’re an absolute gem. Thank you for your contagious joy and all the thoughtful little touches that made this trip unforgettable. I already can't wait for the next adventure with you! ❤️❤️

Maria is a very kind, funny and considerate person. She chose the group perfectly and made the trip very memorable and fun. Maria was very well prepared and organized. She arranged a WhatsApp group and phone call where all tripmates could get to know each other well before the trip. A packing list and a more detailed plan of the scheduled activities were provided early as well. If you had questions, I felt you could always reach out to her. She also involved us during the planning of the trip as we as a group could vote for some of the activities we wanted to do. Our week was packed with activites but I felt that we were not rushed and had enough time to explore each place. She also showed us marvelous places which were less touristy. Maria also seemed very knowledgeable regarding Iceland's sights. She did not only show us around but also could often say a thing or two about them. She also provided us with tips on how to save money as eating out can be expensive in Iceland. I really enjoyed my time on the trip with her and the other trip mates. We definitely had some good laughs during this roadtrip. Overall, I can only recommend her as trip leader and would like to join her on a future trip!

The trip with Maria and the other six wonderful people was a truly unique experience. We saw so much in such a short time, thanks to Maria’s excellent planning and organization. The accommodations were perfectly chosen, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The great atmosphere within the group was also wonderful. I would definitely book another trip with her.

This was my first trip using Join My Trip, and I’m so glad I took the step to book it, with Maria as my team leader. I have many reasons to be happy about this experience. Firstly, I had never traveled on my own before, and I was fortunate to meet such lovely people in our group. Secondly, Maria planned the trip so well that it was truly enjoyable. She not only has a welcoming and friendly personality but also goes out of her way to provide information about the locations we visited. Maria took care of the group and listened to our wishes; she is very accommodating. I cannot recommend her enough as a team leader. For anyone considering booking a trip but feeling a bit apprehensive, I encourage you to go with Maria. She will support you, and you’ll see how rewarding the experience can be. Thank you, Maria, and I look forward to our next adventure!

Amazing experience and trip to an unusual destination, Greenland, with Maria, is going to be an incredible memory that will stay for life. Trip was full of various activities that were well organized to resist any possible flight or other cancellations that can often happen in Greenland. The weather was amazing and allowed us to witness many beautiful sights. Big Thanks to our trip leader, for the trip and new friendships and hope to join another trip with Maria!

Great trip, new experiences and new friends. The trip was well organised, Greenland is a country where activities and flights can get cancelled. Maria was well prepared for this and had other options always available. A great trip leader and made sure everyone in the group was looked after. Some great memories and exceptional sights to be seen. Hopefully I can find another trip to join with Maria. Until the next trip, Thanks again.

Maria is a very passionate and empathetic trip leader! She planned enough activities for an active trip but left plenty of time to relax or have solo time. I really appreciated Maria's thoughtfulness in managing a large group with diverse interests. We had a fun trip of all women that would all travel again with Maria!

This was my second trip with Maria, and I highly recommend her as a tour leader. She’s super organized, helpful, friendly, and funny—she also accommodates individual requests and finds straightforward solutions when things don’t go as planned (I’m just saying “creepy lady” 😉). Thank you so much for the amazing trip with a really well-matched, friendly, and laid-back group! This definitely won’t be the last time I travel with Maria.

What a great experience! Maria is super organized and very committed. She always made sure that all tripmates were taken along and that everyone felt comfortable, which I found particularly great! I also found it very helpful that Maria was always available before and during the trip, gave good tips and always had an alternative at hand: be it a plan B or another idea for a challenge ;) The trip was the perfect mix of everything for me: adventure and challenge, relaxation, culture and lots of fun! Maria also proved to have a good nose for choosing the tripmates, the group was very harmonious, we had a lot of fun and I am very sure that this was not our last trip together! I can definitely recommend a trip with Maria and am already looking forward to the next one!

The trip to Jordan was absolutely amazing, packed with activities and experiences that were carefully selected and executed to perfection. Maria chooses her trip mates very carefully, so the group got along perfectly, even though none of us knew each other personally beforehand. A huge thank you to our Captain Maria for organizing and executing the trip so perfectly!! If you ever have the chance to go on a trip with Maria, don’t miss it.

Thanks so much for the amazing time! I thought we were a great group and it was so much fun 😄 The vibe was always great and we were all on the same page—which I don’t think is a given for a group that didn’t know each other beforehand. Special thanks to our captain @Maria—thank you so much for organizing everything. From the itinerary to the accommodations, everything was top-notch ❤️

My first trip through Join my Trip was with Maria to Bristol and Stonehenge. Maria is a natural at organizing, always keeps track of everything, was incredibly helpful during the trip without ever getting distracted—I highly recommend Maria’s tours. Thanks again, Maria!
