ABOUT
Our manifesto

We believe

We enjoy life to the fullest in the moment, but know sometimes it takes a lot of careful planning and smarts to create a life you enjoy every moment.

We live for luxury and first class flights, but know sometimes you just need to sell your purse on eBay or sleep on a friend’s couch just to make the travels happen.

We know living better starts by focusing in wellness and health, but know it’s not as easy as reading motivational posters.

We love to explore and adventure around the world, but know sometimes nothing beats being home.

We think everyone should take risks and feel adventurous, but know sometimes it means you wear a shirt in a bold color to work, not ziplining over rain forest.

We believe in silver linings and happy endings, and are ready to do more than just write to-do lists in pretty notebooks.

ABOUT
Ideas are on us… you still have to go!

Live your adventures

Define your own adventures, don’t let anyone else tell you what’s adventurous.
Climb mountains, despite your fear of heights.
Take the road less traveled.
Have a map, but enjoy getting lost.
The form of transportation doesn’t matter as long as you enjoy the ride.
There is no bad weather when you are prepared for the weather.
Make your own tracks.
Future is yours to shape, don’t let past define what’s ahead of you.

Turning dreams into reality.

Hi, I'm Katja!

I created a lifestyle that let’s me be a mom, travel around the world and pursue my personal dreams in life – all while having a professional career. I am a proof that impossible things can become possible, and I would love to show you how to make your dreams come true too! I founded Presnal5 Strategic Marketing Intelligence Agency to connect companies with freelance marketing professionals – so combining life goals & career goals are easier!

“Hi! I started Skimbaco Lifestyle in 2007, and it has been my side-project ever since while I have been also building a career in marketing.
We used to publish more often, and created quarterly magazines… but we took a little break while working on other things.
I also founded #IGTravelThursday hashtag – and I wrote a book about Instagram!
To stay in touch on a daily basic, let’s connect on Instagram.”
