Hi there! You're in for a treat if Bali is on your list of destinations! Here's a brief overview of my contributions is as follows:
1. Local Know-How: I made the move to Bali May 2022 and since then have garnered a lot of knowledge of the island. That includes networking with established luxury brands to visiting a lot of my recommendations.
2. Luxury Traveler: As above, I have established contacts within the industry with some of the top luxury brands. Having experienced some of that luxury myself first hand.
3. Tailor made itinerary: Every traveller is different and so that calls for customizing your requirements. I can do that not least because that is what I would expect myself.
4. VIP Treatment: I work alongside concierge svs to make sure we have 5-star treatment that's over and beyond. That includes airport hassle-free VIP access to hiring helicopter/private yacht or rush through traffic with exclusive police escort.
5. Foodie Heaven: I've curated some of the best restaurants, so you don't have to. That includes local cuisine as well as more international flair.
6. Adventure or Zen: Being a seasoned adrenaline junkie and a health and fitness fanatic, we can work out a plan for you to go either waterfall hopping and/or tray as many as 300 different types of spa and wellness treatments.
7. Culture Dive: If culture is your thing, then there is so much to choose from. Bali is known for being a spiritual island and the culture through dance, music and local artisans - doesn't disappoint.
