Why Choose Me? Because Travel is Personal — and So Am I.
I’m not just here to book your flights and hotels — I’m here to help you create memories that you’ll talk about for years to come.
What sets me apart? It’s the little things. I listen. I care. I take the time to understand not just "where" you want to go, but "why" — whether it’s ticking off a dream destination, reconnecting with loved ones, or simply taking a break that truly feels like a break. I believe travel should feel as seamless as it is exciting, and I’m passionate about making that happen for every single client.
My own travels — from watching snow monkeys bathe in the steaming hot springs of Nagano, to sipping cocktails at sunset in Fiji, to reluctantly (but joyfully!) zipping through Tokyo in a Mario Kart costume — have taught me that the best experiences often come from the unexpected. I’ve wandered through the vibrant chaos and calm of India, floated in the warm, peaceful waters of Samoa, soaked up the buzzing beach energy of the Gold Coast and Sydney, and fallen for Melbourne’s cool charm and hidden laneways. And then there was sailing away on a Disney Cruise — a perfect mix of childhood nostalgia and grown-up luxury, complete with fireworks over the ocean. I bring that same curiosity and energy to planning every trip, with insider tips, honest advice, and a commitment to making your version of a perfect getaway come to life.
People often tell me I have a calming presence, a knack for making complex trips feel simple, and a sharp eye for the details others miss. I see myself as your advocate, your sounding board, and sometimes even your travel therapist. And I love that.
At the end of the day, people buy people — and when you choose to work with me, you’re not just getting a consultant. You’re getting a partner who’s just as invested in your travel dreams as you are.
