My Story
Originally from Taiwan and now based in Connecticut, I bring a global perspective and a deep appreciation for meaningful travel experiences. Having lived between cultures, I understand the value of discovering destinations beyond the surface and connecting with local traditions, food, and everyday life. I enjoy helping travelers create journeys that feel personal, enriching, and aligned with their interests—whether they’re exploring Asia, Europe, or somewhere entirely new.
Travel Style
Curated, culturally immersive, and thoughtfully paced. I love balancing iconic sights with authentic local experiences, from neighborhood food spots and artisan markets to hidden cultural gems. My approach focuses on creating itineraries that feel seamless, personalized, and rich in meaningful moments rather than simply checking destinations off a list.

Okinawa at Its Own Pace: A First-Timer’s Winter Guide for Multi-Generational Travel
Most people picture Okinawa in summer—turquoise water, beach clubs, kids building sandcastles. I went in February with my parents, both in their late 70s, and discovered a completely different, quieter side of the island that I think is actually better suited to multi-generational travel. Without the summer crowds or heat, we moved at an easy pace, spent unhurried time at temples and gardens, and still caught seasonal magic you can't get any other time of year—like winter illuminations and blooming cherry blossoms. Okinawa in the off-season isn't a compromise; for multi-generational travelers, or anyone who prefers culture and scenery over sand and swimming, it might be the better trip.
