It’s Shiva the founder of JetSetGoTrip.

My journey with travel began when I was just 14 years old, when I set off on my first solo adventure with nothing but a backpack and a deep curiosity about the world. That early experience sparked a lifelong passion for exploring cultures, landscapes, and the many different ways people live. Over the past two decades, travel has become far more than a hobby for me — it has become a way of understanding the world and discovering myself within it.

During these years, I have traveled to 61 countries across Asia, Europe, and Africa. Many of these journeys were solo backpacking experiences that taught me how to move beyond typical tourist paths and connect authentically with local cultures and communities. Each destination has shaped my perspective in different ways. Egypt challenged me, while Taiwan and Iceland remain among the most fascinating places that profoundly influenced how I see the world.

Three years ago, I decided to transform this lifelong passion into something I could share with others. That is how JetSetGo was born — a travel brand dedicated to designing meaningful and thoughtfully curated journeys. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of traveling with more than 500 people, organizing both group and private trips in styles ranging from adventure and nature exploration to relaxing and luxury experiences.

Destinations such as Iceland, Egypt, and the United Kingdom are among the journeys I regularly lead. My travelers are mostly Persian speakers who are looking for something deeper than a typical holiday — people who want to experience the world with curiosity, openness, and connection.

For me, travel is not simply about visiting new places.

It’s about discovering who you are somewhere between unfamiliar landscapes and the people you meet along the way.

Very soon, JetSetGo will also introduce special journeys designed exclusively for women.
