Quo Vadis Tours and Holidays founder and director, Tim Kozma believes that he developed a passion for travel when as a young boy, his parents took he and his siblings on a three-month “European Vacation”-style world trip of Europe and North America way back in 1976. Two months travelling in a 1972 yellow VW Combi van and one month in Transylvania during a -30C winter definitely the highlights!
Many years later after working as an engineer for nigh on ten years, a long-term passion for snow-skiing led Tim to take a break in 1999 and begin a “4 month sabbatical” teaching skiing in the Austrian alps. That “short sabbatical” in fact turned into eight winters working in the beautiful Tyrolean mountains.
In 2001, completing a grueling seven week training trip, Tim commenced working for Contiki Holidays as one of their European Tour Managers. His “just one season” on the road as a Tour Manager ended up becoming four full summer seasons leading tours through most of Western Europe as well as regional specialty tours in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Scandinavia, Russia and Central and Eastern Europe.
