our story

Why Pratai?

In 1994, I arrived in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, travelling independently through Central America.

I didn't need someone to plan my trip. I just needed a little help getting started—understanding where I was, how things worked and where to go next.

Then I was on my own.

That experience stayed with me.

Pratai is built around the same idea: support without taking over.

We give travellers a place to land, people to connect with and support when they need it—while leaving the journey in their hands.

Freedom when you want it. Support when you need it. Community when you choose it.

Meet the founder

Jim Michelis has spent more than 30 years travelling, working in tourism and teaching. From independent journeys to organized tours, his experiences shaped a simple belief: the best travel gives us enough support to feel confident—and enough freedom to discover what happens next.
