To families or teams who want to enjoy an elegant and personalized journey, even with small children,
Let me help you create a special day that deepens family bonds while experiencing the beauty of travel together
As a mom who travel 100days a week with little kids, and as a national certificate travel guide for 15+ years, and someone who worked for American tech startup as a small team, I understand the importance of creating a journey where every family/team member can truly enjoy themselves, and I’ll guide you through it.
