About
With a background in aerial arts and music, I bring a unique perspective to my travels, seeking out opportunities to engage with local artists and immerse myself in the city's creative pulse. I have lived in several countries, and found that learning the local languages was a way to unlock deeper connections, allowing me to immerse myself in traditions and find local spots that most miss. I also worked in the vibrant world of hospitality, where I discovered insider knowledge about the travel industry, and a passion for showing others how to get the most out of their vacations. So, whether you crave authentic cultural immersion or a touch of luxury, I'm here to design an unforgettable journey that caters to your every desire.

Travel style
My travel style blends indulgence and exploration. You'll find me sipping wine in a swanky hotel bar one night swapping stories with seasoned travelers, then up early for a local muay thai or yoga class. My ideal itinerary balances heart-pounding adventures with luxurious downtime, blending trendy hotspots with authentic experiences. Live music is something I always seek out, whether it's a jazz singer in a posh lounge or a local band on a bustling street corner.
