Having grown up in South Africa exploring the wildlife, mountains and coast, I was inspired to travel and from a young age, became fascinated with South-East Asia. After numerous trips, I made my passion my profession and now 14 years later I am still working for a local Travel company in Southeast Asia and can’t imagine a better place for me. Immersing in the local culture, experiencing the beauty of Asia, and sharing these experiences with others to enjoy authentic and unforgettable holidays is what I love most, so together let’s create a trip of a lifetime for you!

Growing up in Serbia, I traveled a lot with my parents as a kid and really fell in love with traveling. I moved to Vienna for my studies but quickly realized that my heart yearned for more. So I set off to Asia. After China and Thailand, I have now settled in Bali.
My favourite experience so far is being greeted by a dugong while surfing at Padang Padang beach in Uluwatu, and after that day i knew, Uluwatu is my forever home.

Excellent short trip to Laos
Our trip to Laos was very well organised. Rough Guides were very responsive to our queries. They quickly understood what we wanted; busy with a cultural and historical focus in our case. Guide, driver and hotels were all excellent. I would definitely use Rough Guides again/

My husband and I always dreamt about a trip to Thailand and Rough Guides helped us putting together a perfect holidays.
I messaged them with all things we would like to do - from yoga to scuba diving, temples, food, elephants, chat with monks! We had all mixed up and a personal trip advisor was so patient and knowledgeable and designed a total tailored private program for us. We went to Bangkok (Capella hotel), Chiang Mai (137 Pillars) and finally to Phuket (Rosewood).
I just confess that we were a bit skeptical to pay all hotels and domestic flights directly to RGuides but everything went absolutely smooth. The local guides were so helpful - I guess that’s Thai hospitality anyway.
We have packed the days too much with pre planned activities though. We ended up dropping one of the them (excursion to one of the islands near Phuket) so we could enjoy the hotel.
We downloaded an app called grab a taxi (similar to Uber) and it was super easy to go everywhere with that. We also got a SIM card in the airport when we landed and had connectivity the whole period. I was hot spotting on my husbands phone and the solution worked for both of us.
Avoid the temptation to have expensive massage in hotels. Best massage is at the streets!
Can’t wait to travel with Rough Guides again :)

It was a great adventure and we had a lot of fun. The itinerary and locations chosen were great, and we particularly loved the Ecolodge in Bukit Lawang and the
Tandjung Sari in Bali. The hike in the jungle was a bit tough for us, and steeper than we expected. But we're both really glad we did it, even though we did shorten it to 1 night.

Our Indonesia trip was amazing thanks to our trip planner, Liz, and the rest of the team! We had a wonderful itinerary packed with all the adventures we could fit, wonderful guides and activities and perfect hotels. The trip was even more memorable than we could have imagined. We had one incident where a bag was inadvertently left at the last hotel by the staff (no fault of the travel agency) and the travel agent went out of their way to ensure it was sent immediately by a rushed courier to the airport in time for our flight and at no cost to us. I would definitely use Insight Guides for a future trip for the piece of mind and local expertise.
