Southeast Asia is my life, and my passion. I started my career in the travel industry as a tour operator in this region (my homeland), almost 10 years ago. Now, I own my agency, and through extensive travel to Southeast Asia, I know first-hand Asian lifestyles, customs, cultures and history. Specifically, I maintain an intimate connection by extensively and continually exploring and experiencing the countries of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), Laos and Singapore.
I've experienced and know the finest luxury hotels along with those offering unique cultural experiences, toured the most significant historic and religious sights - including temples and cathedrals; shopped at silk factories, visited Grand and Summer Palaces, strolled through local markets, embarked on luxury river cruises, experienced wellness spas, cycled through historic neighborhoods, saw an amazing water puppet show, visited a war museum, enjoyed a local food tasting tour, and viewed the River Kwai via train.
This and so much more can be yours to enjoy, experience and explore when we craft your adventure to Southeast Asia. Are you eager to experience a Hot Air Balloon ride over the Golden Pagodas in Yangon? See the sunrise at Angkor Wat? Tour the historical towns of Chiang Mai and Lamphun via a horse-drawn carriage? I look forward to bringing to reality your every dream, interest and vision about exploring this exciting and unique part of our world!
