Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
Trying to book a trip locally or overseas can seem like a daunting process. I have met too many people who have put their travel dreams on hold because they think it is too much effort to plan. I am here to help you navigate the planning process - where to stay or eat (or shop) even the best (most affordable) way to get from airport to city or just to get around; so you have an unforgettable travel experience. I have travelled to over 100 cities in over 28 countries (and counting). I have taken trip as short as a day and as long as three weeks. All while working full time. Our one hour session will also guide you on ways to maximize your annual holiday allocation and make the most of your budget and time.
Heading to London ? I travel solo 9 out of 10 trips and understand the challenges it entails. If you need a travel buddy or guide to show you around the city; be your shopping guide or help you take those instagram pictures. Schedule a travel guide session for half day or full day in London with me. This service is also available for certain European cities with enough advance notice.
Do you have a travel limiting passport ? (aka you need a visa to visit most countries). Don’t fret - so do I and I will assist with gathering the relevant information to obtain your visa. I will not help you get the visa, but all of leg work and burden of calling embassies and figuring out what documents you need - I am here to help take that pressure off.
Need a curated travel guide that suits your travel taste ? I curate personalized travel guides - whether you are looking for a foodie travel experience or a cultural experience - whatever you travel goals, I can curate a travel guide to suit your travel needs. My travel guides can be simple and focused such as curating the top spas or food spots at your destination to very detailed travel guide with recommended daily itinerary. Personalized travel guides are very time consuming to curate, so advanced notice of up 6 weeks is required and you will get two opportunities to give comments and request edits before it is finalized. However, a fifty percent deposit will be required to begin the process.
Do you want to travel, but cannot persuade any friends to come along with you ? I have got your covered - starting Fall 2019, I will be offering curated weekend and long trips with me as your personal travel guide. I will pick the destination; find the accommodations; provide flight options; book the tour and plan out the itinerary. All you have to do is dust off your passport and reserve a spot. My curated trips will be for groups of 6 to 8 people so space is limited and requests will be filled on a first come basis.

Those on the interest list will get a 48 hour access to sign up for a trip before it is open to the public.
