Thomas Spillmann —
Head of travel design


I was born and raised in Switzerland, a country whose natural beauty — lakes, mountains, and quiet villages — has always grounded me. Travel has been a constant thread throughout my life and work. I spent time living in Argentina to learn Spanish and later volunteered at a sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees in the Congo (DRC) — two powerful experiences that opened my eyes to new perspectives and ways of life.
