Luxury Travels as Sweettravelbee – About me

Do you know the time(s) in your life when everything suddenly changes? When you look at your life and you are where you don’t want to be? So, why am I travelling as Sweettravelbee? This question has shaped my journey.

Originally from Poland, I grew up in North Bavaria, Germany. This happened after my family relocated in 1989. Growing up in Germany was fun. However, I always aspired to live in Australia. So, after several visits, I made the move to Brisbane in 2005. In my search for a fulfilling career, I combined my European influences with a passion for style. This led me to establish my own fashion and styling agency, Be Divine, which I have successfully run for nearly a decade. 

Then after a few personal changes, I was in search of a change and ready to leave Australia. Hence, I embarked on a travel journey, visiting over 50 countries and documenting my experiences in my travel blog here. So here I am, travelling as Sweettravelbee, now an award winning travel blog. I am an outdoor lover, a blogger, traveling in style, taking amazing and sometimes fun photos, writing about my travels. There are no ads and I have no sponsors.

My Travel Blog

I’m absolutely thrilled to have won the Luxury Travel Blog 2025 Award! What began as a simple way to keep my family updated has grown into a luxury travel blog followed by readers around the world. What a journey it has been!

Travel has always been my greatest joy, discovering new towns, cities, and mountains makes me happiest. Since starting Sweettravelbee in 2018, I’ve explored by bike, on foot, and by car, always seeking luxury and stylish places beyond the typical tourist path.

I share only my own experiences. There are no sponsors and no ads. I simply write about experiences. Some places I love, others less so, but that’s the beauty of travel: everyone creates their own journey.

Since 2018, this travel blog has blossomed into a global community of readers and fellow travellers. My travels have evolved into stylish and luxurious getaways, embracing life and the beauty of every city and place I visit. Life is simply too short not to travel. So, whether you’re following my adventures or looking for inspiration for your own, thank you for being part of the Sweettravelbee story. Your support, messages, and questions mean the world. and there’s so much more to come.

Children books …

During the pandemic, my travel blog inspired me to create my own children books about a little girl who travels the world (see here). It also prompted me to start my own business as a luxury travel & lifestyle curator as well as mystery shopper (see below and here). I feel very blessed to be able to travel each year and I will continue to do so for many years to come.

Luxury Travel & Lifestyle Curator | Mystery Shopper

Travelling so extensively shaped the way I see the world and the way I work. Today, I draw on this rich global experience to create personalised travel experiences for others. And so it was only natural to continue my journey as a Luxury Travel and Lifestyle Curator. I design bespoke itineraries for individuals, couples, and families who want more than just a holiday. They want an experience that feels entirely their own: thoughtful, considered, and seamless.

In addition to travel planning, I also offer professional mystery shopping services for luxury hotels, resorts, and service brands. With an insider’s understanding of what excellence looks and feels like, I provide discreet evaluations that are experience-based. These evaluations help elevate service standards and guest experience.

These roles — traveller, curator, consultant — they’re all connected. They allow me to blend my passion for style, service, and discovery into meaningful work. This work supports both individuals seeking unforgettable journeys and brands striving to meet the highest expectations. Travelling as Sweettravelbee has given me the opportunity to do just that.
