About Us
We’re Slovenian adventure travelers who have been on the road for two years now.
Mansa is the one that can’t keep still – she has been actively (more like non-stop) traveling the world since 2011. Upon completing high school her mother took her for a short trip to Paris where it all started. After graduating with criminalistics degree and finding a career as a pilates/yoga instructor (which was the biggest passion she’s had so far) her wanderings brought her to work on a massive cruise ship as a personal trainer – a lifestyle she’ll never forget. She visited more countries in those two years that she could dream of, but eventually realised that doesn’t fulfill her entirely. She left the world of cruising and immediately found herself in tourism. A few months of gathering experience and she became a tour leader – the most fulfilling job she could think of, ongoing for the past 7 years.
She creates all the “Wanderings” from scratch and based on her own travels and experiences.
She has gathered countless useful travel-related information throughout the years, but it wasn’t until she met Matt that the Wander Responder evolved.
Matt is an experienced electrician and had always had a dream of traveling. He even had a bucket-list wish that he’d travel somewhere for his 25th birthday. It wasn’t until he met Mansa in 2021 that his world turned upside down. It started with Portugal and Madeira, continued with Croatia, Ireland and the Balkan countries, and eventually escalated into “Let’s go travel to Southeast Asia for 3 months!”
Those 3 months turned into 2 years and he now fully works on Wander Responder. He’s gained experience as a tour guide as well and is specialised in Asian and Pacific countries.
He takes, what Mansa creates, and puts it on the website.
We’re set off to explore the rest of the world while creating adventure travel guides featuring culture, hikes, food, waterfalls, beaches & adrenaline activities. We hope our travels give you the motivation to set off on an epic adventure of your own. It’s been a wild ride – and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Our favorite destinations
As world travelers, we get asked the most: “What’s your favorite place/country?”
And if you’ve traveled as extensively as us, you’ll probably understand just how complicated of a question that can be.
None of us have one single favorite place, but we do have certain destinations that have special place in our hearts for specific reasons.
