OUR STORY

CENTRAL EUROPEAN ROOTS / ORIGIN

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Our founders, Sonja and Thomas, were born and raised in Germany. Their lives later took them to other parts of Europe, including Switzerland and Australia, before Australia became home.

Living in different countries, speaking the language, experiencing culture first-hand from childhood and travelling extensively across more than 60 countries created a perspective that became the foundation of TStravelselection.

Living in Europe from an early age, they were fortunate to explore Europe, particularly the German-speaking regions, the Alps and other parts of Europe. These experiences provided something that goes beyond travel, a lived understanding of the language, customs, traditions and way of life that make each region unique.

Through these experiences, they came to know, appreciate and love Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein in particular.

This was never simply about knowing where the famous sights are. It was about understanding how a destination feels, discovering both well-known and lesser-known destinations, meeting local people, experiencing different cultures and gaining a genuine understanding of the places they visited.

COVID-19

The unprecedented impacts of Covid-19, of course, shattered our plans like a wrecking ball.

Sonja, who was stranded in Central Europe, made use of the time available and spent time to exploring off the beaten path, lesser-known destinations and hidden gems. During this time, she visited and experienced her homeland again with a view through a completely different lens.

This was not just a journey along a very bumpy road, it changed our attitude towards travelling dramatic. We never lost faith to reconnect with our loved ones in person. Meanwhile we are on a mission to connect travellers with local people around the globe to enjoy quality, authentic and sustainable travel experiences to allow a more immersive experience.

MEANINGFULLNESS & DEEPER EXPERIENCES

There was one simple but powerful question: where can travellers in Australia find an authentic travel experience that offers both personalised service and quality?

We understand that every journey is as unique as its traveller itself. Regardless of age, gender, status and budget, we want our travel experiences accessible to everyone.

While knowing what we have, we always strive for more authentic and enriching travel experiences. We are grateful to offer personalised and tailor-made travel experiences which allow our travellers to dive deeper into places, empower human connections and bring culture and heritage alive.
