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!

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!

31-day couple trip to Thailand & Malaysia
“This is the second time we have used Rough Guides. Last year a trip to Madagascar was brilliant in all aspects so we decided to used them again for a long trip to Malaysia and Thailand totalling over 4 weeks door to door. I created a custom itinerary which after some weeks of planning with the RG team we had a game plan. It was a private tour so expensive as holidays go but the way the RG system works one gets the chance to work with 3 different agents from 3 different local companies and one can choose levels of hotel luxury. The only downside of this was 3 times the work to do the detailed planning, after receiving the 3 proposals I discarded 2 and concentrated on fine tuning the 3rd one, with the agent who I felt was listening to my needs The actual trip was amazing and everything worked pretty seamlessly even though we were looked after by 2 local companies, one in each country.”

“They were able to provide exactly what we were interested in experiencing in types of activities and places. They customized our activities and all the guides were fun, informative and organized which left us free to just enjoy. Communication was excellent throughout”
