The oriental cultures repeatedly show me that true innovation emerges from diversity – where differences do not separate but enrich. The Orient is pure diversity – and therein lies its power to excite and connect.

My most unforgettable trip

Oman

My travels through Oman have vividly shown me how multifaceted this country is: from endless deserts and majestic mountains to green oases and the unspoiled coast. Particularly enriching were the encounters with the locals, whose hospitality and traditions provided deep insights into the culture. At the same time, the contrasts between modern development and centuries-old customs impress – a mix that makes Oman so unique to me.

On my bucket list

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is at the top of my bucket list! I am particularly fascinated by AlUla with its millennia-old history and the unspoiled beauty of The Red Sea. Since its opening to visitors, Medina has also captivated me – the mix of cultural depth, spiritual significance, and newly accessible experiences makes the kingdom an exceptionally appealing travel destination for me.

Experience & Background

Laila Stock's enthusiasm for travel actually began at birth. At just three months old, she embarked on her first long-distance trip to India with her travel-loving family. This was followed by further travels to Asia, the Orient, Africa, and Central America. It is therefore no surprise that Laila decided to start training as a travel agent with a tour operator in Cologne in 2017 after completing her A-levels. After successful training, Laila chose to pursue a part-time degree in Business Administration and increasingly focused professionally on the Orient and Asia in the luxury segment. Since 2024, she has been part of the Take Memories team, taking care of product and marketing. She is also studying Business Consulting & Digital Management in her master's program part-time.

Personal Life

Laila carries her enthusiasm for travel and cultures far beyond her profession. With great passion, she is dedicated to creating experiences that allow authentic encounters with traditions and ways of life, both for her own travels and for our clients. The pursuit of discovering new travel destinations results in an ever-growing bucket list that she would ideally start tackling tomorrow – just like her beloved to-do lists in her professional life.
