About
A California-based travel professional who loves details and planning as much as she loves a good adventure.
Travel style
I view travel as an investment; an investment of hard-earned resources, precious time and an open mind. As with any important investment, I strive to ensure that each travel experience is maximized and exceeds all expectations. I do this via personal exploration of lesser known destinations, rigorous research on design-led, innovative and boutique accommodations and meticulous curation of immersive and ethical local experiences. I also love to enrich any itinerary with incorporation of foods, wines and spirits unique to the locale. Allowing me to care for your travel planning in this way will enable you to focus on the wonder, romance and relaxation of your new surroundings. While multi-week, multi-destination holidays are my specialty, I also delight in cultivating the perfect long-weekend among friends and family. Enough about me, though...I can't wait to hear about your style, ideas and travel aspirations!

Ashten's reviews
Asten was excellent. She found a guide for me who was superb - a professional photographer so I have lots of great pictures. She provided restaurant recommendations that I really enjoyed. And most importantly, she scheduled an elephant experience that I will always remember.
