Hello, I’m Kay!
My ultimate goal is to capture your imagination, invigorate your senses, and open your mind to the wonders of the world, leaving you with memories to cherish and recount with joy for years to come. I aim to curate a bespoke journey tailored to your style, ensuring a seamless and stress-free process from start to finish.
Growing up in Japan, my deep curiosity about what lay beyond the horizon became the foundation of my travel journey. As I explored different parts of the globe, I discovered a profound love for connecting with people from diverse cultures, savoring their exquisite cuisines, and unraveling the intricate layers of their art and history. Throughout these journeys, I found the calming power of nature to be a constant source of inspiration.
My career began working for a tour operator and a five-star hotel, where I honed my skills in designing and orchestrating seamless tours, delivering the essence of best quality services. Later, I traveled across the globe while working as a technology and financial professional.
After years in the corporate world, I realized the significant importance of downtime and exploration beyond the familiar. It is my hope that my experiences and expertise provide you with the luxurious moments of relaxation, rejuvenation, and connection you truly deserve.
