Travel Small Talk with Romanos

Romanos Koutas is our web unicorn! As a front-end developer, he develops new features for Clio Muse Tours’ website! In our small talk, he shares a little of his travel experience and where he would like to travel!

 

When and where did you last travel?  

The last time was some time ago in northern Italy. I visited Parma, Milan, and Verona more like a road trip. It was fun. I loved the Italian highway and the middle ages and Renaissance buildings. To me, Italy is like Greece would be without the Ottoman era, and I feel at home there.

 

How do you describe yourself as a traveler? 

I like to spend a lot of time staying in the same place. Short trips are like a race; everything happens so quickly without actually “being” there, without becoming a part of the place and feeling it the way it should. I love to dive deep into the culture of every place I visit!

 

What are your 2023 travel goals?

I’ll consider revisiting Italy, traveling by boat, and taking my car for road trips. Also, my sister is in the Netherlands and would throw a party if I visited her. Will see! Only a little travel for 2023.

 

Which is your favorite Clio Muse Tour?

I love the “Skip-the-line” tours. Well made and historically accurate, and skipping a ticket line is so convenient! I can explore a venue at my own pace, without delays or waiting for my ticket. It makes me feel like I’m a VIP! 😄

 

What does travel mean to you?

Memories with my friends and loved ones in a new environment to explore its history, culture, people, all of it! And, of course, new flavors to taste!

Which is your dream destination?

Space… the final frontier! Skip the gravity tours!
