About

I grew up
travelling.
Now I travel
for you.

Travel is not a choice for me — it is how I understand the world, other people and myself.

My story

I couldn't find
what I was after.
So I created it.

Travel has always been my language — not as tourism, but as a way of living. I grew up with it. Yet every time I looked for something real — a retreat in India, the Ayurvedic methods of Rajasthan, a luxury experience in AlUla — I found the same thing: agencies selling flights and hotel rooms. Nothing more.

Even when I described exactly what I wanted, everything else was missing: the detailed information, the reassurance, the reliability, someone who knew the destination from the inside. Today anyone can book a flight and a hotel from their phone — but a real experience asks for something else entirely.

I began to wonder: what would the ideal agency look like, seen through my eyes? The more I thought about it, the more I believed in it. And one day I decided to leave behind my profession as an environmental engineer — though never my devotion to nature and to exploring. I took the risk. And it worked.

Today I am filled with the energy of dozens of travellers who want to explore the world in its depth and in all its dimensions. Albanians all over the world, and anyone looking for something real — those are the people I build for.

What I believe

"A good journey is one that sends you home in a state of retreat."

When you are so fully immersed that only here and now exists — that moment, that place, that experience. Completely present.

This is the philosophy behind every journey Retreat Travel Group designs. No traveller sets off uncertain — they set off prepared, informed and ready to live it fully.

Our clients have no geographical borders — they come from all over the world. Especially Albanians living beyond Albania, who are looking for experiences of true international standard.

How I work

Every journey
is different.
Like you.

01

Authenticity

I curate only experiences I have lived myself. Nothing from a brochure — everything from the ground.

02

Reliability

Complete information, secure bookings, presence throughout the process. You are never left on your own.

03

Personalisation

There are no ready-made packages. Every journey is built around you — your group, your rhythm.

04

Presence

A good journey teaches you to be fully here — not on your phone, not in tomorrow. Only in that moment.

05

Transformation

You don't come back the same. You come back in a state of retreat — calm, replenished, changed from within.

"Sleepless nights spent dreaming, working and designing. Thousands of kilometres to turn those dreams into experiences. Not simply to change the place you are in, but the state you are in."

— Laura Ferati

"Sleepless nights spent dreaming, working and designing. Thousands of kilometres to turn those dreams into experiences. I have lived more than 50 destinations, and today I know exactly where to take you. Not simply to change the place you are in, but the state you are in. Because a real journey doesn't only take you somewhere else. It takes you closer to yourself."

Partnerships

Let's build
something together.

If you share the same philosophy — travel as transformation — I would love to hear from you.

If you are a hotel, tour operator, spa or destination and you share that philosophy, I would be glad to talk about working together.
