Background

My story

Travel isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. After designing my own once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list journey through Southeast Asia, I realised I could help others experience the world in a smarter, richer, and far more exciting way. I specialise in creating bespoke travel experiences that feel premium without the premium price tag. Finding a $250 hotel room in the heart of Hanoi — overlooking the ceremonial lake — for just $50? That’s the kind of challenge I genuinely love. Whether you want hidden gems, unbeatable value, or a trip built entirely around your interests, I’ll do the heavy lifting. You stay in control. I bring the expertise, the insider knowledge, and the deals. You’re the boss — I’m here to turn your dream trip into reality.

Philosophy

My approach

I’m passionate about deep research — truly understanding a destination, an activity, or a tour before ever recommending it. That’s how the real gems are found. Knowing when and how to experience a place can make all the difference. Whether it’s visiting a usually crowded cave before the day-tour crowds arrive 😉 or choosing the perfect moment for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, timing and local insight are everything. A key part of my approach is collaborating with exceptional local people and guides. Authentic, insider-led experiences are always more rewarding than following the standard tourist trail. Over the past 40 years, I’ve planned countless trips for myself, my family, friends, and colleagues. I’ve now realised it is time to share that knowledge, experience, and passion — and use it to create unforgettable journeys for you.
