Travel style

My wanderlust compass spins in a few directions: adventure, experiences and indulgence.

One day I'm crafting epic road trip itineraries for the East Coast & Canada, the next day I am navigating the Dolomites peaks on foot or diving the vibrant reefs of the Banda Sea. New cultures fuel my fire, whether it's exploring the ancient wonders of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan or experiencing the magic of Christmas with families in Rovaniemi, Finland (reindeer sleigh rides and Northern Lights included!) But I also cherish slow travel and experiences — a food tour in Barcelona, learning lantern-making in Hoi An or mastering batik in Indonesia. When it's time to unwind, a glass of wine in a charming Tuscan vineyard is my perfect paradise. This diverse love for travel translates perfectly into planning adventures for all — whether it's a heart-pounding trip with friends or unforgettable memories for families.

PS. As an Indonesian, I can also help you discover and experience the richness and diversity of our cultures if you want!

Sharon's reviews

Travelling made easy! Had one day notice to book an entire trip and without Sharon all the hotel options and planning would've been a pain! Definitely my new travel brain. ❤️ Personal notes throughout the stay and the complimentary Cédric Grolet in the morning was a pleasant touch! Thank you Sharon.
