Even as a child, Monika traveled a lot with her parents. The world has fascinated her since she was a small child. This was ultimately reflected in her choice of subjects: ethnology, American cultural history, social and economic history and art history showed her various aspects of the world's cultures. She never let go of this fascination throughout her life. During her studies she spent some time in North America, where she traveled to the USA and Canada - sometimes together with Petar - and spent a year of research in British Columbia in Vancouver and Kamloops. During that year she immersed herself in the world of First Nations in Canada. She researched both their current situation and their history. During this stay she gained experience in dealing with indigenous cultures. This was later useful to her in her contacts with indigenous peoples from the Aborigines of Australia to the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa.

Traveling as an adventure guide on different continents

As an adventure guide, she initially led camping trips that took her to remote regions such as Alaska, the Yukon, the outback in Australia, the deserts of Namibia, remote areas of South Africa and Botswana. At the same time, their camping trips often took them to cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec, Sydney, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Windhoek. So she got to know the highlights among the tourist attractions that, for example, the entire USA, all of Canada, Australia, all of southern Africa as well as European countries such as Spain and Portugal offer.

On these trips, their task was, among other things, to fill keyword-like travel programs with sights and activities and to give lectures and guided tours about them. She was also always looking for new experiences. She attached great importance to the fact that her guests should get to know the countries better. At the same time, she organized campsites for overnight stays. After arriving at the camps, she also worked on camp life. This included buying food and equipment for the vehicles and camping in remote regions of the world as well as outdoor cooking and grilling at the campsites.

Monika Fuchs as a study tour guide on trips for high demands

As a study tour leader, the type of trips Monika led changed. Studiosus offers group trips for a clientele that places high demands on accommodation, experiences and detailed knowledge. On these trips, which took her to the same countries and regions as mentioned above, she stayed in luxury hotels, organized gourmet dinners in selected restaurants and led city, nature and adventure trips in which distances were covered by ships, small aircraft, buses and off-road vehicles became.

Culinary experiences and adventures

But her culinary experiences, which Monika was already very interested in on her study trips, also became more important for her travels as a gourmet travel blogger. As a tour guide, Monika's job was, among other things, to find high-quality restaurants to which she took her tour groups. Both took part in cooking courses with top chefs several times and looked into other people's cooking pots. This led to their shared interest in regional products and specialties continuing to grow.

They now also cook these dishes on the stove at home. Monika and Petar also like to dig out old family recipes that they present to their readers. Petar, for example, gained a taste for cooking during these culinary experiences. Today he often stands in the kitchen and tries out new recipes. In addition, when they travel, they are always looking for dishes and products that are typical of a region or even a city. Most of the time they will find what they are looking for. This is where her interest in farm shops and simple farm recipes comes from.
