But everyone calls me Ate. I’m a Romanian girl with a serious travel addiction and no interest in living life on someone else’s timeline.
Before I started building my own brand, I tried just about every remote job out there:
Each job helped me see new places, meet unforgettable people, and figure out what travel actually means when it’s not about ticking boxes.
Because I’ve lived the nomad life from the ground up. I started with a $5/hour job and a one-way ticket. I’ve slept in noisy hostels, brushed my teeth in airport sinks, and skipped the resorts in favor of real connection. Now I design trips that hit that sweet spot between comfort, culture, and curiosity—no tourist traps, no fake experiences, just honest travel with good people.
Our retreats focus on bringing together a community of like-minded people.
Our curated speakers will teach you new ways to approach work, life and mental health.
Embark on unique adventures and cultural experiences you've never even dreamt of.
Great things happen when we decide to put ourselves first.
At Ate’s Retreats, we don’t just plan trips — we create intentional spaces for connection, clarity, and renewal.
The truth is, even I understand the pull of the typical vacation: you fly somewhere familiar, book the same hotel you’ve stayed at five times, and let routine take the wheel. It’s easy. It’s safe. And when you’re exhausted and overwhelmed, that ease is tempting.
But what if your time off didn’t just pause your life — what if it changed it?
That’s where Ate’s Retreats come in. We take care of every detail — the location, the connections, the energy — so that you can fully arrive without stress. No tourist traps. No endless research. Just intentional community, curated experiences, and space to breathe.
Every detail is chosen with purpose, from who joins to where we stay.
No curated façades. Just real people, real stories, and real growth.
We believe magic happens when strangers become support systems.
