Hi I’m Tia, a Greek Cypriot native that combines a career in professional dance with a profound love for soul searching and traveling around the world.
I haven’t sold all my belongings and backpacked across the world!
You won’t find any backpacking tips here- in fact, I am very actively managing a full-time job alongside various other projects including running this website!
I travel as much as I can- and as well as I can- usually around 4-5 times a year. My holidays are all about Affordable Luxury and Exotic and Tropical Holidays.
I like to combine adventure with relaxation and nature with modern-day comforts!
I have danced in the pouring rain in China, chased sharks in Belize and got lost in NYC! I have climbed mountains in Costa Rica, and bathed elephants in Thailand. I have eaten my way through Italy, Egypt and Dubai, beach hopped the Greek islands and stood in awe at the waterfalls in Bali.
I lived and danced professionally in Europe for 11 years and upon ‘’retirement’’ I did a spur of the moment trip to Beijing to visit a close friend of mine. China was huge for me- not only did it serve me the culture shock of my life – but it also made me fall in love with Asia and Travel in general.
The minute I landed back in Cyprus I started planning my trip to Bali, Indonesia and the rest is history!
I became hooked with traveling -and started to view things differently. I decided to save money all year so I can travel more, and the further, the better!
I wanted to explore every inch and corner of the world, know the culture, speak to locals and eat street food! I wanted to visit animal sanctuaries, swim with sharks, hike mountains, explore jungles, and discover beaches!
Tia Does Travel was born in September of 2018, and the future is bright.
I want to help you all travel better, smarter, and more authentically.
Most importantly though, I want you all to know that you are never too old or too busy to follow your dreams…!
”Life should never be anything short of extraordinary”
Tia
