About me
Hi, I’m Nadja, owner of LA TIBURONA ON TOUR and your designated tour guide. So, this is my life-journey (so far):
Born in Austria and raised in Tyrol, Germany & Finland, I speak about 5 languages (English, German, Spanish, Finnish and Italian). After graduating Art School I worked for almost 9 years as a flight attendant for Austrian Airlines, mostly on long range/ intercontinental flights. On one of those layovers I discovered my love for the underwater world, while snorkeling in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea for the first time. Soon after I got certified as a scuba diver in the Maldives, did my divemaster training in Guam, and finally became a scuba diving instructor in Hawaii. I lived & worked as an instructor in Oahu/ Hawaii, Dominican Republic and Roatan/ Honduras, where I was also in charge of the dive center.
Back in Austria I studied “Entrepreneurship in the Tourism-& Leisure Industry”, and graduated in 2006, while working for Sub Aqua (a dive-travel agency in Germany) in Marketing.
During my student exchange program I got to live in Mérida/ Yucatan for a while. I was so pleasantly surprised of this colonial city, its charming people, the unique mixture of ancient Mayan culture & modern lifestyle, sandy beaches, plus excellent scuba diving along the second largest Barrier Reef & cenotes,… that’s why I decided to make Mérida my home base.
Besides raising my daughter and running a clothing store for over 10 years, I have never lost my passion for traveling and exploring new places. Today I would love to share my experience and show you the beauty & hidden gems of Yucatán, Austria, Italy, Japan… or really so many places on this amazing planet!
The idea is to keep the groups small so that we can stay flexible, and you can get the most out of your trip. Our tours are aimed at people who don’t want to travel alone, but neither are keen to join large tourist groups. Or for those of you who want to save time and simply get a professional to take care of planning & logistics.
