Hello everyone! My name is Martina, and I am the proud founder of Level Up Teambuilding. I’m excited to share my journey with you—a journey filled with adventure, growth, and a passion for helping teams thrive!
A Thrill-Seeker from Austria
Born and raised in Austria, Europe, I have always been a life-loving, thrill-seeking individual. After completing my Master’s degree in Business Administration and International Management, I launched my career in management. Yet, I felt the call for more adventure. In my spare time, I found joy in alpine rock climbing, mountain biking, and CrossFit, always seeking new challenges to push my limits.
Bucket List Adventures
Driven by a desire to experience all that life has to offer, I embarked on an adventure to check off everything on my bucket list. From couch surfing in the jungles of Brazil to skydiving in New Zealand and immersing myself in fascinating superstitions in Thailand, I made incredible memories along the way. However, there was one thrill I hadn’t yet tackled: walking barefoot over hot coals!
So, naturally, I signed up for a 10-day firewalking experience in Turkey, where I met my now fiancé, David, who was one of my trainers. Little did I know that meeting him would lead to even more adventures!
New Beginnings in Malaysia
After a year of conducting teambuilding events in Austria, David and I moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, eager to expand our horizons. One magical night, under the stars on a beautiful beach in Thailand, we made a life-changing decision: we were ready to take the next step and start a family. However, we knew that Asia wasn’t where we wanted to settle down.
A Leap of Faith to Canada
Our last stop? Ontario, Canada! We set off on this new adventure with an open heart, ready to explore. While enjoying some fun at a bar south of Toronto, we met realtors and contractors who introduced us to “Kijiji.” The next morning, we checked it out and discovered interesting homes in New Brunswick. A week later, we became proud homeowners!
When we arrived in Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick, for the first time, it felt magical. Driving down the hill from the north side towards the Westmorland Street Bridge, we saw the massive Canada flag waving in the wind. In that moment, we looked at each other and just knew—we belonged here. It was an instinct, a feeling that the universe was guiding us.
The Birth of Level Up Teambuilding
When friends asked how David and I met, many encouraged us to bring our fun and beneficial teambuilding activities to New Brunswick, noting the lack of such offerings in the Maritime region. This sparked the inception of Level Up Teambuilding in 2021.
Fast forward to today: seven years after our Canadian adventure began, we are grateful to have a beautiful home, three precious children, and a thriving business. We love working with teams, providing the motivation they need to succeed. Having trained individuals from various professions and cultures across the globe, we possess the perfect tools to help your team shine and grow. Each unique experience with every team enriches our journey, and we cherish that growth.
