We’re here to make your travel dreams not only possible but unforgettable.
About Us: Travel Done Clever
Hello and welcome to Travel Done Clever, your ultimate guide to travelling smarter, deeper, and with purpose. We’re Martina and Andrej – partners in life and adventure – on a mission to inspire you to explore the world with purpose and passion. We are culture enthusiasts and adventure seekers who believe travel is about more than just destinations – it’s about the stories you uncover, the connections you make, and the purpose you find along the way.
For us, travel isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of life. Since 2008, we’ve visited 31 countries and ticked off countless bucket-list experiences. But that’s just the beginning. Our ultimate goal? We are on an ambitious journey to visit every country in the world and explore all 1,223 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It’s a bold dream, but we believe the world is too beautiful, diverse, and fascinating not to try.
We know the road ahead is long, but every journey starts with a single step. Let’s take that step together.
What Makes Us Different?
What you see on Travel Done Clever comes straight from the heart. We’re balancing full-time jobs with our global adventures, proving that extraordinary travel is possible without putting your life on hold.
We don’t believe in ordinary travel. For us, it’s about more than just checking boxes— it’s about connecting with a destination, immersing ourselves in its culture, and finding the stories that make it unique. Whether it’s wandering through the romantic alleys of Venice, discovering hidden Caribbean beaches, or standing in awe in front of historic UNESCO treasures, we approach every journey with curiosity and purpose.
Meet Travel Done Clever
Hi, I’m Martina, the creator of Travel Done Clever! I’ve loved travelling for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, I was always curious about the world, dreaming of faraway places and exciting adventures. I’ve always been fascinated by maps and learning about the world. I have a serious case of wanderlust.
Now, travelling is not just my passion—it’s part of who I am. When I’m not out exploring, you’ll find me:
- Researching destinations and planning our next big trip (or five).
- Writing detailed guides and fun facts for our blog to help others travel smarter
- Editing hundreds (okay, thousands) of photos to bring our travel tales to life.
I believe travel is one of the best ways to connect with the world and learn something new. It isn’t just about seeing new places for me—it’s about learning, growing, and inspiring others to explore this amazing world. Whether it’s visiting famous landmarks or finding hidden gems, every trip is an adventure waiting to happen.
Who is Andrej? Let’s see. I’m the other half of Travel Done Clever, and let me tell you—I didn’t exactly sign up for this at first. Let’s be honest—Martina’s the real mastermind here. I’m her partner in travel (and, occasionally, patience). My job? To hold the camera, pilot the drone, and, most importantly, wait endlessly while she gets just the right shot (Pro tip: The right shot takes dozens of tries).
Sure, I love exploring new places, but Martina’s idea of travel comes with a few challenges for me. Here’s the thing: Even though I joke about being her “human selfie stick,” I genuinely love the thrill of exploring new places. Whether it is hiking through ancient ruins or standing in awe of a natural wonder, every trip pushes me out of my comfort zone—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
That said, I’m not a fan of flying. It terrifies me. Seriously, every time we board a plane, I remind myself that everything that goes up must come down. But despite these moments, I’m always up for the next adventure.
What You’ll Find at Travel Done Clever
We created this blog to share the incredible places we’ve seen and to inspire you to travel smarter, deeper, and with intention. We’re not just about the “what” but the “why”—why a place matters, why it should be on your radar, and why it’s worth exploring with intention. We focus on both, bucket-list favourites and lesser-known wonders, so there’s something for every type of traveller.
On our blog, you’ll find:
- Detailed Itineraries: Crafted from our personal experiences to help you plan with confidence.
- City Guides: Full of practical tips, cultural insights, and hidden gems.
- Cultural and Historical Guides: Learn the stories and facts that make destinations unique.
- Hidden Gems: Discover the places you didn’t even know you were dreaming of.
We have mastered the art of maximizing travel while working full-time. With just 30 days of annual leave, we have explored various parts of the world. With over 15 years of experience, we have faced the highs and lows of travel, and we are here to share our insights.
Our Promise to You
Our goal is to provide you with honest, reliable, and practical advice you can trust. Everything we write is grounded in personal experience. We’ve walked the streets, hiked the trails, and stood in awe at the landmarks we share with you. No guest posts. No shortcuts, and no link swaps – just authentic stories and expert advice to help you explore with confidence. Whether you’re an armchair traveller or a seasoned globetrotter, you’ll find inspiration here to travel smarter and with purpose.
Adventures We’ll Never Forget
We’ve been lucky to explore some unforgettable places together, like:
- The ancient wonder of Chichen Itza in Mexico.
- Climbing the towering sand dunes of the Sahara Desert.
- Swimming in Jamaica’s glowing Luminous Lagoon under the stars.
- Relaxing beneath a warm waterfall in Saint Lucia.
- Exploring the inside of one of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt.
Now, we aim to inspire you to travel with purpose and to do something to benefit the places you visit.
Whether you book a tour with a local or hike a well-known trail: give a purpose to travel that visiting only those Instagram famous spots might not.
