Travel That Transforms
We believe the best journeys are the ones that change you from within
Meet your guides
Dorod, I'm Amir
With years of experience exploring Australia and the world, I’ve been leading tours since 2015 and designing unique travel experiences for diverse travelers.
Back then, I thought travel was simply about showing people beautiful places and creating fun memories. But over the years, I’ve realized that the most meaningful journeys aren’t just about seeing new places — they’re also about the conversations around campfires, the quiet moments of reflection in nature, the deep connections formed between strangers who become friends, and the journey inward.
That’s why I created Toofun Trips — a new way of traveling focused on personal growth, genuine human connection, and reconnecting with nature — the mother that shapes our bodies and souls.
Hola, I'm Maribel
I see life as a journey full of adventures, highs, and a few stumbles along the way. No matter where you are on your path, every experience is a chance to learn, grow, and reconnect with yourself.
I grew up in Colombia believing success meant achievement and money, which led me to a career as a lawyer in my 20s. While it looked great on the outside, it was also when I first experienced anxiety and depression, and when my most important journey began: the journey back to myself.
Since then, I’ve explored many paths, changing careers, moving to a new country, and trying different healing and mindfulness practices. What I’ve learned is simple: you don’t need to go far or become someone else to reconnect. Everything you need is already within you.
Nature and genuine human connection have a powerful way of bringing us back.
We’re all already on this journey together, so let’s share a little more of it.
Our Philosophy
At Toofun Trips, we believe meaningful travel is built on three essential connections
Connect with nature
We are not separate from nature,. We are born from it, shaped by it, and one day we return to it. It lives within us, just as we exist within it. Like a mother, it nurtures, heals, and sustains us, asking only for care and respect in return. In the rush of modern life, we often lose this connection. But when we step away from the noise of the city and immerse ourselves in the natural world, something shifts. We begin to slow down, to breathe more deeply, to feel more present. Nature restores us, rebalances us, and reminds us of what truly matters. In those quiet moments, surrounded by its beauty, we don’t just see nature, we feel it. And in feeling it, we find a deeper connection to ourselves.
Connect with People
We are not separate from one another. We are deeply connected, part of something greater than ourselves. Human connection is not a luxury; it is essential. We are not meant to walk this life alone.
Each person we meet carries a different story, a different perspective. Learning to accept, understand, and grow alongside those differences is part of what makes us human. When we support one another and share in each other’s joy, something powerful happens; happiness becomes something we multiply, not divide.
In connecting with others, we don’t lose ourselves, we discover more of who we are. Every interaction becomes a mirror, helping us understand our thoughts, our emotions, and our place in the world more clearly.
And in the end, the deeper we connect with people, the closer we come to understanding ourselves.
Connect with Yourself
To connect with yourself is to begin the most important journey of all. We believe this journey is at the heart of why we are here—to turn inward and discover who we really are. Understanding yourself brings clarity to what you seek, what brings you joy, and what no longer belongs in your life. It takes intention, reflection, and the practice of being present. And when you go within, you don’t find emptiness—you find something beautiful. At your core, there is pure love, peace, and truth. This is not a destination, but a lifelong journey back to yourself.

How it started...
The idea behind Toofun Trips comes from Toofun Tours — the travel business I started in Iran in 2015. Over four years, I had the privilege of guiding around 4,000 people through the beautiful nature of Iran.
My connection with nature goes back to childhood. We often spent days camping as a big family — sometimes with more than 30 tents. Some of my best memories were created in those moments, surrounded by nature and the people I love.
Growing up in a large family with five siblings helped me connect easily with different kinds of people. When I first started Toofun Tours, I didn’t have much experience, but over time I learned by meeting all kinds of personalities and navigating challenging situations that required quick decisions. Those experiences shaped me.
I moved to Australia in 2019, and for a while, I felt lost trying to find my path. I was searching for something meaningful — something that would allow me to grow, experience more, and feel that I’m contributing to the community.
After six years of working and traveling across Australia, the idea of Toofun Trips came to life. It’s inspired by what I built before, but it goes deeper. It’s not just about traveling in nature with a group — it’s also about the journey within.
Now, Maribel and I are living this dream.
