About us
Meet Lela & Simon.
A Georgian-Belgian couple with a shared passion for travel, nature and the country of Georgia.
Georgia is personal to us.
Our love for Georgia, its landscapes, people, cultures and traditions led us to create Gorgeous Trips. We design journeys around the traveller instead of selling fixed programmes.
Our involvement in tourism goes back to 2004. Over the years we have worked in outdoor travel, guided groups, carried out tourism research, volunteered abroad and developed travel programmes in different parts of the world.
Simon’s background in biology and Lela’s background in art history and tourism add another layer to the way we look at a destination: with attention for nature, culture and the people who live there.
Our travel background
Travellers first, organisers second.
We love trekking and hiking and often travel off the beaten path, but we also appreciate comfort when it adds something to the experience. That broad travel background helps us adapt each journey to different interests, rhythms and budgets.
Our travel background
First-hand travel experience, around the world.
Before we organise journeys, we are travellers ourselves. These are some of the places that shaped the way we understand travel.
