MY STORY
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
vision
In 2019, my predictable life changed when I found myself without my engineering job of 23 years. Although scary, it was an exciting time for me to re-direct my next chapter in life. I have been blessed to travel the world and somehow Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore, Bali, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia have resonated with me in a deep and transformative way. It was a very soulful and connective experience — perhaps the stunning landscapes or the genuine spirit and kindness of the people and the intriguing cultures that touched me deeply. Why not share my joy of travel with everyone who are curious to see what I had felt and loved — I could see myself offering like-minded adventure seekers for an immersive and luminous side of Southeast Asia with curated luxury travel.
WHY TRAVEL TO SOUTHEAST ASIA?
I had traveled to Singapore over 20 years ago, and frankly my feelings about the city were underwhelming. However, when my brother and his family relocated to Singapore for his job in 2013; I didn’t want to miss out seeing my infant nephew, so my Mom and I travelled for visits…or was that the excuse that reignited my latent travel obsession?
TRANSFORMATION
So, on my second visit to Singapore — the city evolved and transformed (for me)— I was awed at the sights, sounds, and smells. I was impressed by the harmony of so many cultures (Chinese, Malay, Indian the main ethnicities). My trips to Singapore became adventurous because we traveled to other regional countries on every visit. The proximity enabled me to travel to Malaysia, Cambodia, Bali, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Over the years I've visited each location quite a few times, and ideas of more travel developed.
I got reconnected and frankly, re-energized, with travel to Southeast Asia — a new found love connection.
