🌟 Bespoke Southeast Asia Travel Designer 🌟 Hello! Thank you for stopping by my Seller profile! 😊 I have travelled solo for more than 20 years with a particular interest in art, architecture, nature, and culture. I have also worked in the travel industry for many years, both in operational and client-facing roles. I'm originally from Italy and have lived in London for 20 years. I now call Southeast Asia my home. I love this part of the world with its variety of customs and traditions, cultures, and peoples. I'd love to help you travel to this amazing place! I particularly help travellers plan sustainable and cultural trips and I also focus on solo female travel. As a shy and awkward kid in Italy, I have worked hard to leave my insecurities behind and start exploring the world, something that my family didn't think would be possible. Yet, I have surprised everyone and myself with the adventures I have gone on. I want to help other women who might feel insecure about their abilities to go for what they want, especially if their interests are different from the norm. I'd love to help you on this journey, one that can change your life and view of yourself! Get in touch to start planning your trip! As the nerd I am, I love geology, especially volcanoes, I have visited more than 40 temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park, and I watch Friends every day 😅
