Europe Trip Leader
Tomo Petek
With a degree in economics and tourism, Tomaz “Tomo” Petek created a vagabond lifestyle, traveling to different continents. From Italy to India, Morocco to Belize, he immersed himself in new environments, and picked up a few languages along the way (he’s fluent in four, to be precise). Yet after so much time away from his home country of Slovenia, he decided to return and has been guiding trips ever since. “My wish came true—I live in a country with a lot of natural beauty and I have one of the best jobs in the world,” he says. When not leading trips, Tomo enjoys climbing, cycling, and photography, and has become a certified yoga teacher.
