Shan Human

Known online by her pseudonym (Shannon Osztonits), Shan Human is full-time boss, part time fairy gypsy. She fell in love with words when her and her imaginery bestie became friends many, many years ago, conjuring up conversations and writing these down in her diary or story books she pretended to publish. With a background in Journalism, and a travel book that extends the world, Shan has lived and worked all over, from the crazy streets of New York City, to the even more manic roads of Hanoi. Her work has been published in some of the biggest travel publications.

She’s the wordsmith.

Johan Human

For all things marketing related, Johan is a your guy. With a degree in Business, he’s our finance and marketing guru. Johan has also extensively travelled the world, and it’s where these two love birds first met. (Yup, they are a husband-wife-duo in case you were wondering.) A social butterfly, Johan thrives in meeting new people! He loves identifying and creatively problem-solving; but ‘logical’ is most certainly his middle name! Lover of the outdoors, his Happy Place is ascending mountains — or submersing himself in Japanese culture. Shan is the yin to Johan’s yang.

He’s the numbers man.
