Boaz, an avid traveler, has explored over 40 countries, and his list continues to grow. Don’t get too jealous, but his son had already explored eight countries before he was four years old! The travel bug sure seems to run in the family. The idea behind RoutePerfect occurred to Boaz while he was struggling to plan a family trip across Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. What were the Croats thinking when they put Dubrovnik so far out of the way? Prior to the founding of RoutePerfect, Boaz, an INSEAD Business Major, ran a consulting firm and held senior executive positions in several technological companies.

When Omri decided to take his first plane trip he was nearly 19. Although he’d already purchased his ticket, it was time to go and issue his very first passport. Later on, while stamping his passport in the airport, his friends asked, “Is this the first time you’re traveling abroad?” and he answered “Yes but how did you know?” It seems that Omri couldn’t hide his excitement, and in his first passport photo, he has a huge goofy smile! He still holds on to that passport as a memento. Omri’s eclectic nature drove him to major in Communications and International Relations, and so far he’s managed to work as VP operations for a national A-league soccer team, work for the HP R&D department, and own a nightclub!

Emanuell’s first flight ever was when she was only six years old, and she fell in love instantly. Even today she still gets anxious and excited every time she boards the plane. Her favorite moment, she says, is just when you leave the ground and there’s a slight feeling of zero gravity, like you’re about to levitate. The love for wandering and exploring has driven Emanuell to learn Russian, then French, Spanish... and Portuguese! She now studies German online and considers it guten fortune that she got to combine her passion with her experience in the marketing management world as well as her Hispanic and Latin American studies.

Risi’s passion for travel was sparked as a kid, when instead of going to summer camp with other children her age, she traveled around Europe with her family.

We can vouch for her that she has kept her word.

Alex was always quite the outdoorsman. As a kid he went camping in the forests around his childhood home in Belarus. Trekking and rock-climbing became a way to experience nature’s wonders and appreciate its awe-inspiring silence. Inspired by his work at RoutePerfect, he’s already planning his summer trip to Norway. Alex’s passion for computer science started in the fourth grade. He took courses in computer languages and created his first website by the time he reached high school. His teachers, victims to a student’s online practical joke, were not so fond of his playful initiative, but Alex kept going, studying computer engineering and working his way up the industry.

Traveling allows Robyn to combine her two favorite things: having fun and learning. Some lessons are harder than others, like what’s important to carry on with you, and what isn't - physically and mentally. She believes any lesson is fun when you get to visit new places and meet new people who speak, eat, dress, and often think differently than you do. Visiting those sites that are remnants of the past makes Robyn feel as though she gets to do the impossible: travel back in time! As a child, she crossed borders before she even knew what they were, and now she wants to cross them all, whether by plane, train, boat, car, or feet, she’s willing to get there however she can. Robyn is the friendly and keen to aid travel expert that you talk to on our live chat :)

Valerie's traveling began with books. She had read her way through English countryside, to Mordor and back, up and down Carpathian mountains, into Narnia, and across wild German forests. So when the time has come to buy her first plane ticket, the decision was almost impossible to make. Since that first fateful trip across Great Britain, she has chased vampires in Eastern Europe, scoured for goblins in Austrian forests, swam with loreleis in the Adriatic Sea, chatted up domovois in Moscow, and much more. What about the future, you may ask? Well, the nearest future holds leprechauns and the perfect pint, but beyond that... Who knows? The world is vast and kind to vagabonds.

Sofia grew up in Russia, attending a local Moscow high-school. Her favorite school activity was school trips across Russia and Ukraine, extending for 2-3 weeks of hiking, nature and great historical monuments over the summer months.
