What does Fernweh mean?
Fernweh is a word that comes from German and has no equivalent in English, but it could be translated as “wanderlust”, the sadness of being at home and the desire to travel to unknown places. It is also an inexplicable attraction to the unknown, the longing for faraway places and also the melancholy of staying at home.
Where did the project originate?
Like you, I have always loved to travel and all that it implies. Getting to know new cultures, people, languages, customs, typical dishes, drinks, music, art, landscapes and much more. I have been traveling around Colombia and many other countries for more than 5 years and what started as a hobby, has now become this project. A project built with love and dedication to fill a gap that exists in the tourism market. Tired of the traditional tourist agencies, more and more people want to travel, but, on the one hand, they do not want to be tied to the typical tour groups of many people, to the strict schedules that you are required to meet and that do not allow you to know calmly and quietly your destination, and, above all, they want to have freedom when traveling.
On the other hand, people who, due to different limitations such as lack of time, some kind of physical disability, language, age, lack of knowledge of technological tools, websites, applications, among other factors, have not been able to make those trips they want so much. There are even people who want to travel but simply planning a trip causes them stress, anxiety and desperation because of all the planning involved, that is why this service is also for them.
You only have to tell us what you want, we do the rest for you! What we want is to help you put together the trip of your dreams, plan it to suit you, your tastes, your possibilities and that once at the destination, you are the owner of your time and you don't have to be tied to a fixed plan. We will help you plan everything you need and even accompany you if you require it, but the trip will always be entirely and exclusively yours. Lack of time, technology, age, or language will never again be an impediment to travel!

Our Team
Nathalia Morales
CEO FERNWEH
Hello! I'm Nathalia, the lioness leader of this great family that is Fernweh. As a lioness I am very sociable, I love to be in a pride, to travel and discover new places. I am always on the move and that has led me to know more than 30 countries around the world and more than 70% of my beautiful Colombia. I have traveled with all kinds of budgets, in different circumstances of my life; I have backpacked, I have gone as a nomad to different places, as well as temporarily settled in countries like Belgium and Spain.
I am a translator by profession because my passion has always been to connect different cultures, to learn from them and to transmit the passion of traveling around the world has become my life mission, making travel a reality and not just a dream. My color is yellow because it is the color of joy, happiness, and life; and this is what we want to transmit from Fernweh to all our clients.

Hello! I'm Valeria Rivera, social communicator and journalist by profession. Transmitting ideas, connecting with people and creating new things is one of my passions, which has allowed me to learn about other cultures, create connections with people around the world and open my mind to create new things from what I have seen in my travels.

I am the #1 fan of sunsets! and of letting people know about new things and projects. Without a doubt, my color is light blue, which represents a lot of who I am (it's also one of Fernweh's colors), as a symbol of serenity, protection, calm, peace and confidence.
