AYURVEDA TRAILS

My journey to ayurveda was not a straight one. It has begun at the end of the year 2007, when my work as private licence tourism consultant brought me to Sri Lanka. On one side I discovered an island of great natural, cultural and historical beauty, but on the other side a local tourism faced difficult political conditions heavily influenced by the end of Sri Lankan conflict. In my effort to understand the situation I became a student again.

In 2010 I enrolled for Asian Studies & International Relations at Metropolitan University Prague and few months later became exchange student of Geopolitics & International Relations at Manipal University. As student in India I fully immersed myself into political, social and cultural studies, which helped me to see modern Indian society not only from visitors point of view, but also allowed me to personally experience common lifestyle of ordinary people heavily influenced by the rich heritage of antient. Ayurveda was introduced to me as a holistic philosophical system focusing not only on healing and medicine, but also as a lifestyle system.

In 2013, inspired by my studies, meetings with ayurveda experts and my personal passion for travel and art, I established travel agency and introduced Ayurveda Trails - The healing travel collection inspired by art & ayurveda. Soon, my activities were noticed by general public and experts, being highlighted in prestigious magazines and awarded by international organisations

Yet, I still feel, it is only begging of the journey to promote authentic holistic ayurveda as a part of tourism market. Ayurveda is not a magical wand to cure each and every disease or make you happy. It has lots of nuances, which are requiring honesty, patience and trust to understand, that healing is also in your hands and cannot be sold and bought with cheap marketing tricks. So, let us start a journey and inspire you!
