Hugo

Hugo - Founder & CEO

I have always loved to discover new environments and have new experiences. Graduated as an engineer in environment and sustainable development, I believe that it is a priority to understand and respect our world. This is why I have decided to help make the world more understandable by promoting local cultures through a responsible tourism. So many years ago, I started my journey as a tour leader in Asia. Then I won a travel award from the city of Paris for making a documentary in Indonesia for several months: “How local & tradition cultures have a positive impact on their environment, and how we should get inspired by those respectful methods”. After, I got the chance to start working for the top leading tailor-made travel agency in France: Voyageurs du Monde. I learned all I needed about how to design the perfect trip according to the client’s needs. But as a creative person, I became frustrated not being able to better promote the local culture and what makes every places unique. So, in 2016 and being in love with Spain forever, I decided to launch my own travel agency: Secret Barcelona.

Emilie - Associate & MICE Director

Passionate about the world, I have been traveling ever since I was able to make my own choices. Although I had a travelling urge, I never wanted to rush and was more willing to take the time to better understand the places I was eager to visit. That’s why I took three years off in 2011 to make my way to Asia and Australia. Traveling slowly allowed me to get a better insight of the people with whom I was interacting and their environment. Few years later, I went again on a long journey around South America. This was the ultimate experience that proved me how important it is to protect and promote local cultures and nature treasures! Career wise, I had the opportunity to work for one of the best tourism company in France, Voyageurs du Monde. This experience taught me everything about tailor-made travels, and how to listen to clients to create unique experiences. Experienced and determined, I seized the opportunity to join Secret Barcelona as a full associate few years ago. I’m now very happy and grateful to be able to do what I love the most: help curious travelers and passionate locals to meet and share the best of themselves!
