Great trips to London start here.

Welcome to my travel shop. 👋🏻 I'm Lena, originally from Germany but have called California, Mallorca (Spain), and Chile temporary homes over the years. When I don't travel, I like to spend my time with landscape photography, digital product design, baking, and drinking overpriced coffee. My goal here on Thatch is to offer you more than travel guidance. I'm dedicated to bringing value to your future trips by sharing my carefully curated itineraries, expert tips, and, most importantly, the priceless locals' perspective. Why should you work with me? Because I've lived it. I've walked the cobblestone streets of Valldemossa, Spain, set out to find the best cardamom bun in Copenhagen, and hiked the W-Trek in Torres del Paine, Patagonia. Because I've made mistakes, taken detours, and found hidden gems. I've learned from every step of my journey, and I'm here to share those lessons with you. Love, Lena P.S.

I'm looking forward to the trip and can confidently say that my expectations have already been exceeded. " - Anastasiia "Lena's guide is organized, easy to navigate, and informative. We never questioned where our next place to stay was or where to grab a bite to eat. The guide was well thought out and took the pressure off the logistics, so we could focus on having a good time. I highly encourage others to use her guide if you plan on taking a trip to Europe." - Sue "The Portugal/ Spain trip could not have been planned any more perfectly for two old guys like Stuart and I who have no travel experience at all. Every place you picked for us was magnificent. I am sure no one else would have put such love, care and attention to detail for such a trip." - Arthur

An American (Liv) 🇺🇸 + A Brit (Jack) 🇬🇧 falling in love with the world. Liv here! At 23, I married my high school sweetheart, Jack. Our adventures have taken us to cities as big as London, England, and towns as remote as Modica, Sicily. We've lived, worked, and traveled all over Europe with a special focus on Italy, France, and the UK. In August of last year, we decided to make Seattle our home base. It’s a city we grew to know and love after 5 years of annual visits. Nowadays, we spend our days exploring Washington and traveling abroad— we’re always looking for our next adventure. We specialize in modern, mindful travel guides, curated recommendations and custom itineraries and always try to incorporate: - local experiences - cultural mindfulness - LGBTQ+, women, and minority-owned businesses - social enterprises and mission-driven businesses 🗺️ Custom Itineraries: Tailor-made trips just for you. 📌 Curated Recommendations: Discover hidden gems and local favorites. It would be an honor to help make your dream trip come true.
