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!

Born and raised in Sabah, North Borneo and we call ourselves the Sabahan here. I am half Chinese and half Iban or Sea Dayak to some, one of the indigenous native groups in Sarawak – another part of Malaysia Borneo. Long story short, my dad is a Chinese from Sabah and my mum is Iban from Sarawak. So, what better way to blend both cultures together :)

I have travelled across Malaysia (not all but mostly) independently, with family and friends and what I love most is the food! I am a foodie and always enjoy the variety of gastronomy Malaysia has to offer. Besides that, I have a soft spot for animals and the wildlife in Borneo is just magnificent!

As a Southeast Asia trip designer for over 8 years, I believe that an incredible journey is about more than just visiting a destination; it's about authentic experiences that enrich the mind, magical moments that connect with the locals, stylish hotels that rest your soul, and food that awakens your senses.

My company has been specializing in private and tailor-made trips for over 20 years. With headquarter in Thailand, we can operate tours to all countries in Southeast Asia. When you travel with us, no two trips are alike because we design and customize tours to your specific interests, budget, and travel preferences.

As an avid travel enthusiast, I plunged into the world of travel immediately after graduating from college in 2018, stepping into the role of a trip planner. Southeast Asia is my favorite region! With personal visits from time to time, I gather rich experiences for travel in the countries of Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, and using these experiences to help travelers curate their trips to these destinations. Have you any plans to visit these destinations? Whether you're dreaming of a solo trip, a honeymoon holiday, or a local immersion, count on me to make it happen!

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Malaysia

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?
Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge. While a traditional travel agent might rely on third-party info, our experts know what’s open, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the crowds. They’ll plan your trip based on what works right now, using their own network of trusted guides, hotels, and local experiences.
