Thomas

Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Strategist

The once-young tour guide who wandered through different careers mixes his business acumen with exploration.

the wandering explorer

Thomas embodies the spirit of a perpetual explorer, often venturing off the beaten path. While his journeys sometimes lead to moments of regret or disorientation, they also unveil hidden gems—charming towns with quaint houses, meticulously preserved churches, winding paths, and a simple yet profound way of life amidst breathtaking natural beauty. These scenes, which he captures through his lens, are, however, best experienced in person, where their true essence comes alive.

Thomas' travel journal

Thomas's tourism career began during his college years in South India, where he worked part-time as a tour guide. Over the next 10 years, he became a tour operations manager and, later, a travel advisor for tailored itineraries. His most enriching experience was with Hans and Sucheta of Odyssey Tours, from whom he learned the art of crafting bespoke tour itineraries that offer authentic Indian cultural experiences, steering clear of commercialized tourist hotspots.
