Note from the founder

My love for nature and the outdoors inspired me to take a leap of faith after several years in IT sales. I decided to step away from the corporate world to pursue mountaineering courses, trekking, and travel—a journey that spanned five transformative years.

Exploring new places, climbing mountains, and connecting with people from diverse walks of life taught me invaluable lessons. These experiences shaped my perspective and ultimately led to the birth of OLLIT, a travel and outdoor company dedicated to creating meaningful connections between people, nature, and communities.

At OLLIT, I began by curating and customizing leisure, cultural, educational, and adventure tours for individuals and corporate groups. My aim is to connect people—adults and children alike—with places, heritage, culture, art, and architecture. I strive to foster a deep sense of belonging and responsibility toward nature, culture, and local communities.

Over time, my focus expanded to include working with children, introducing them to nature and helping them develop a sense of connection and appreciation. I believe true conservation—whether of nature, culture, or local traditions—stems from appreciation, and appreciation begins with experience. By connecting children and adults with their immediate and extended environments, I hope to nurture not only their bond with nature but also their relationships within their communities, encouraging them to grow alongside and with one another.

At OLLIT, we embrace the philosophy of slow-paced, experiential travel to inspire appreciation and respect for the places and people we encounter. Through these journeys, I hope to inspire a lifelong love for the outdoors and empower people of all ages to embrace the transformative power of travel, learning, and connection.
