Jan is responsible for the development of some of the most successful biking tourism products in the region - Trans Slovenia, Trans Dinarica, and Bike Slovenia Green, which was named one of the best products in 2020 by the Guardian and National Geographic.In addition to running Visit GoodPlace, he also helps destinations and businesses with development of outdoor tourism products.

The first lady of GoodPlace, a founder and partner. She is an ambassador of green “development” and a big supporter of teamwork. She deeply believes that greatness can only be achieved by networking and collaboration. This green traveler and sportswoman is radiating energy that connects people, showing the remarkable ability to empower others to see the solution in place of encountering problems.

Katja is the perfect fit to GoodPlace team, sharing her enthusiasm for outdoor activities, a creative environment and interesting work in diverse fields. Finding her way back to her soul team, she introduced a fresh and simple energy, with effective solutions to the product creation. An organizer by heart and a partner, she easily spreads her never ending energy, making sure that the outcome she provides gives clear, simple and comprehensive results. She is constantly in search for balance, finding her peace in travels, tasting good food and wines and can always be found in a good company.

Being a geodesist by profession, Matic had been active in the field of cartography and marine hydrography for a long time, he made a decision to start his own business (and later on to join the GoodPlace team), which is partly connected with primary expertise of spatial informatics and gradually more and more with mountain bike guiding and the growth of tourism products related to it. During his youth he was active in sports, particularly in athletics at the beginning, but later on he was more devoted to mountaineering challenges. As climbing and expeditions took a lot of time, the passion for alpinism was progressively replaced by cycling. In recent years, mountain biking connected with guiding, which represents the basic form of spending free time, and gradually also working time actively, has stood out.

An experienced guy like Andrej is extremely welcome in our agency. Passionate hiker, mountain biker, trail runner, and traveler has more than 18 years of experience in guiding. He is a licensed tourist guide and mountain bike guide, and an author of Geographic excursions guidebooks. His professional skills and excellent knowledge of Slovenia and the Balkans also come useful at Visit GoodPlace. He deals with route preparation, as well as leading cycling and hiking tours.

Katja is happiest when she is outside. She loves nature and all kinds of sports in nature (her top 3 are surfing, snowboarding, and mountain biking), adventures, traveling, and chasing sunrises and sunsets. She likes to listen to music - she prefers live concerts - and creates music as a member of an orchestra). In our agency, as a caring, positive person, and excellent team player, she takes care of the communication with clients and providers (hotels, guides, ...), where knowledge of both, active tourism itself, and locations in and around Slovenia is of great help.

Monja is our copywriting and marketing wizard. She's a sociologist and advertising specialist by day, but when she's not nerding out over language and data, she's getting her adrenaline fix by climbing boulders and exploring the great outdoors. She loves growing our online engagement, followers, and her forearms.

By education, Matevž is a mechatronics engineer, but he has been doing everything else since student times (although mechanical knowledge comes in handy when he needs to repair a bicycle in the middle of the forest). For many years he was creating content in the auto-moto media, raced off-road motorcycles, and rode with tourists on motorcycles all over Europe. In recent years he prefers to exchange noisy machines for bicycles, freediving fins, cross-country skis, or hiking and farming boots. His passion for creating authentic and entertaining content, be it texts, photos, or videos, is still there. In Visit GoodPlace, he’s taking care of our social media channels, e-mail news, and the website, and helps with van transfers of our guests.

You will hardly find Jani in a stationary position, be it in private or professional life. The professional truck driver makes sure that our bikes are in perfect condition where they need to be: at the start of your new adventure. Later, Jani and his van will also meet you at the end of the tour and drive you (and the bicycles) back to the starting point, to the hotel, or to the airport. He’s also a passionate cyclist on his own (on-road and off-road), especially for longer distances. When this is not possible - in winter – he likes to go skiing or hiking. And guess what, all three of his kids compete in cross country.

Sara comes from a small Slovenian village, surrounded by the embrace of nature. When not immersed in the world of bookings and itineraries, you'll catch her tending to the garden, strolling through forests, and finding inspiration in the beauty of the outdoors. She finds joy in exploring new places, and as a translator her love for languages adds an extra layer of connection to every journey. Sara's language finesse isn't just for books – it comes in handy, crafting seamless connections with customers and partners alike.
