Your Trusted Guide to European Gems

Meet my loyal assistants, Lucy & Coco!

Hi! I’m Stefan, founder of NuVia Travel.

Do you also believe that “Your Bucket List Gets Longer the More You Travel?”

Travel has shaped my life in ways I never expected. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, where hopping across borders was as easy as a weekend drive. With my mother from Vienna, Austria, I spent much of my childhood exploring Austria — developing a deep love for authentic experiences, hidden gems, and the kind of travel that goes beyond checklists.

Over the years, I’ve visited 55 countries, including an unforgettable four-month road trip from the Netherlands to the Central African Republic with friends. That adventure taught me that the best travel moments aren’t always planned — but the logistics behind them absolutely should be. That’s where I come in. 

What You Can Expect from Me

I design premium, seamless European experiences for busy professionals who don’t have time to plan but expect exceptional results. Whether it’s a tailored itinerary through Portugal, or a sweet tour visiting European chocolate artisans (great ones in Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland and France!), or a carefully curated culinary river cruise, I handle the details so you can simply enjoy.

Insider Access & Hidden Gems – I know where to go, what to skip, and how to experience destinations like a local.

Honest, No-Nonsense Advice – As a Dutchman, I believe in transparency, straightforward guidance, and no fluff — just great travel, done right.

Seamless, Stress-Free Planning – Your time is valuable. I handle everything, from handpicked hotels to exclusive experiences, so you don’t have to.

Of course, I don’t do it alone. My two loyal canine assistants, Lucy and Coco, keep me on task and make sure I never miss a beat!
