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!

I grew up in Vietnam and am currently based in Hanoi. After graduating with a degree in Hotel Management, I started my career in the industry in a large hotel in Ho-Chi-Minh-City. After a while, I realized that my real passion lies in sharing my knowledge about our culture, cuisine and communication with other travelers. I’m living my dream job now, being able to share our unique culture with the world. 

Our tour operator is headquartered in Vietnam but we have operations all over Southeast Asia with our own offices. To bundle communications, we have our local expert based in Vietnam, handling all local communications with the regional offices to provide you with your multi-country or single-country itineraries. This way we ensure you receive excellent service but with real-time local information directly from the regional offices. No matter if you’re planning a romantic getaway in Thailand, an active journey across Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam or a river cruise in Myanmar - we’re ready to customize your ideal trip and bring it to life. 

Our tours are best suited to those wanting to explore Southeast Asia in style and luxury.

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Thailand

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.
