We know you’re looking for something different

Our story

With 15 years of hands-on experience across 120+ countries, our team of 20+ travel and event experts know what makes a journey truly impactful: authentic, skill-building, and bonding moments that bring people closer together and open minds to new ideas.

With deep local expertise, we know every possibility at our destinations – from accommodation and catering to programs and logistics – making us a reliable partner for everything from intimate incentive trips to full-scale conferences, always vibrant, seamless, and aligned with your brand.

Less boardroom more breakthrough

Our Philosophy

For decision makers and business owners, a business trip is more than an event; it is an investment. The goal is always the same: to achieve a greater outcome than its cost.

Whether it is a team building retreat, an international conference, an incentive trip, or a blend of all three, every journey should deliver clear and tangible results.

We make sure that happens. Beyond flawless execution, we keep the purpose of the trip at the center of everything we do, from the first briefing to the final feedback. And because every success deserves proof, we support each project with thorough documentation and measurable outcomes.

Meet our team

János Benjámin Vértes

Founder

He is a professional freeride skier and intrepid traveler. He’s been organizing ski camps and music festivals for the past 15 years. After a gap year traveling around Asia he decided to start a new travel design company to create unique travel experiences for like-minded people. He designs and tries all of the new journeys.

Fanni Pataricza

Co-Founder

She has been writing the GoBeyond story together with Janó since the very beginning, with her degree in tourism serving as a solid foundation. It also helps that they have traveled to nearly 50 countries together and still love not only each other but also discovering new places. She supports key decisions with sharp insights as a true expert, and with her background in design management, she ensures that the work we produce is always of the highest quality.

Gergő Koczka

Business Developer, Senior Key Account Manager

With outdoor sports in his DNA, he combines strategic thinking with hands-on experience gained across financial institutions, digital agencies and sport-tech startups, as well as from founding his own lifestyle fashion brand, Pinetime Clothing, from the ground up. At GoBeyond, he focuses on building and scaling the brand, improving operational efficiency and supporting long-term growth. Geri enjoys creating events and experiences that strengthen the GoBeyond community, believing that meaningful connections and shared adventures are the foundation of sustainable success.

Panni Ruzsa

Head of Business Events

She has been directing others since kindergarten, and over the past 15 years, this has become her profession as an event organizer and project manager. The business events she manages require extremely precise planning and management, where there is no room for error, and where any sudden problem or change must be addressed immediately. These challenges keep her constantly motivated, as does the fact that at GoBeyond, she finds partners for almost any unconventional venue choice or idea realization.

Peti Dósa

PR & Communications Lead

He’s an extreme hiker and marathon runner with a suspiciously strong attraction to mountains, and the only boundaries he enjoys crossing more than country borders are his own personal limits. He graduated as a psychologist, but for him, true therapy is exploring untouched nature. In a new country, he never misses the chance to track down rare wildlife—even if it means disappearing into the jungle for a week. A notorious Tripadvisor Top 10–denier, he’ll always go out of his way to find quieter, rougher, more authentic routes. If he’s your travel companion, cultural shock is guaranteed, and you won’t just discover new bucket-list places - you might discover a new side of yourself too.

Alexa Kozák

Senior Event Manager & Travel Expert

She is a huge sports enthusiast, whether it’s board sports, horseback riding, or yoga—which, by the way, she loves to teach. She feels right at home in nature, currently living in the Austrian mountains, and when she’s not traveling, she organizes GoBeyond trips for our business partners from there. A true foodie, she’s as comfortable navigating farmers’ markets and local food stalls as she is dining in Michelin-starred restaurants and premium boutique hotels.

Norbert Major

Event Manager & Travel Expert

He discovered our travel agency through a GoBeyond magazine he found in a café, and immediately reached out to us, expressing his desire to work together. We’re still grateful for that, as we gained an adventurous, charismatic, and experienced explorer with him joining us. Whether it’s an adventure tour or a business trip, we know our travelers are in good hands with Norbi. If needed, he’s ready to depart to any corner of the world as soon as the next day—he’s never said no to a trip.

Anna Kádár

Senior Account Lead

She has begun exploring the World’s cultural depths through her studies in Germany and Australia. She thrives on group adventures that expand horizons by blending adrenalin-fueld excitement with individual levels, pushing comfort zones with thrilling escapades. With a background in organising international student exchanges, intercultural conferences, hosting NGO events and professional trainings Anna is responsible for corporate sales in the office. She is particularly drawn to solving unconventional and ambiguous challenges.

Mesi Balla

Travel Expert

Whatever question you may have about a trip, Mesi always has the answer. She is our travel expert who has always wanted to organize trips, mastering every detail of the profession at university and traditional travel agencies. She found her true passion and the client base closest to her heart at GoBeyond: organizing epic adventures is not just her job, but her mission.

Fanny Baderinwa

Event Manager

She is a true globetrotter at heart, with a passion for everything nature, adventure, and open-air freedom—whether it’s mountain hikes, seaside relaxation, or simply enjoying a good coffee outdoors. For Fanny, it’s not just about natural beauty but also sustainability: she’s one of the team’s most stylish members and a dedicated supporter of secondhand fashion.

Bence Kovácsik

Art Director

Founder and creative director of Faraway Design Studio, Bence took on the task of refreshing GoBeyond’s previous logo in an unguarded moment, which eventually grew into an ongoing collaboration that led to our entire office’s rebranding under his skilled hands. Bence is not only talented in design but also in pizza tossing; he co-runs PizzaBété with friends as a hobby, supplying the famous Neapolitan pizzas for our events. When he’s not baking pizzas, Bence is an avid runner and boulderer.

Barni Bartis

Senior Graphic Designer

The creative force behind the events and event branding organized by GoBeyond. As a graphic designer, he definitely knows how to bring a vision to life. When he’s not planning the next big project, he explores distant landscapes or captures stunning photos - his Instagram is worth a click. No matter what conversation you find yourself in with him, you can expect some puns.
