Founder of NuVia Travel
Meet Stefan Terwindt, Dutch-Born Europe Travel Advisor
I help busy travelers plan premium, personalized trips without spending months researching every hotel, route and experience. Europe is where my story and deepest expertise began, but NuVia Travel plans thoughtful journeys worldwide.
The ASTA Verified Travel Advisor designation recognizes advanced industry knowledge, professional training and a commitment to ethical travel advising.
European Roots
Growing up in the Netherlands, with Austrian roots and grandparents in Vienna, made crossing borders and experiencing different cultures feel normal from an early age. That European foundation still shapes how I plan travel today.
Firsthand Research and Trusted Local Partners
I regularly inspect hotels and ships, meet with destination specialists and build relationships with local partners who know their regions far beyond the standard tourist highlights. These relationships give my clients access to better information, more thoughtful recommendations and support when circumstances change.
European Expertise That Shapes Every Journey
My European background is not a marketing angle. It shapes how I plan. I understand train stations, hotel locations, regional pacing, border crossings, cultural differences, and why a trip that looks easy on a map can feel very different on the ground.
Planning Europe well is rarely about choosing one beautiful hotel. It means understanding how transportation, geography, timing, neighborhoods and local experiences work together.
I specialize in creating logical, comfortable itineraries that minimize wasted time and make complicated multi-city trips feel manageable.

What You Can Expect
"Stefan handled every detail and made a complicated international trip feel completely effortless. We always knew what came next and felt supported throughout the journey."

Did You Know?
My great-great-grandfather, Julius Ritter von Newald, served as mayor of Vienna from 1878 to 1882.
My love for Vienna runs in the family!
Trusted Travel Relationships
I work through professional networks, cruise lines, hotels, tour companies, and in-country specialists. These relationships help me compare options, ask better questions, and match each trip to the right local support. My recommendations are based on the client, not loyalty to a brand.
