My Story
Hi, I’m Ashanty. I’m an adventurous travel designer who is passionate about creating meaningful experiences. I’ve surprised myself more than once—climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on a whim, living in a village in Africa for two years, swimming with wild manta rays in HawaiʻI, and staying in the dreamiest beach bungalows on O’ahu’s North Shore. I tend to say yes, stay curious, and follow what feels alive. Currently, I live in O’ahu with my husband and dog “bug”, and spend time surfing and eating good food.
Travel Style
I take a warm, stress-free approach to designing itineraries and bookings that truly reflect each traveler’s personality. Every detail is thoughtfully curated around how my clients want to feel—whether that means adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both. Personally, I’m drawn to experiences that inspire and energize, like learning something new (surfing is a favorite), discovering charming cafés, and starting the day with yoga in a beautiful setting.

Ashanty was great to work with—she handled my hotel booking smoothly and made the process completely stress-free. I’ll definitely use her again for future work trips.

The Ultimate 5-Day Heartbreak Reset on Hawai’i’s Big Island
Sometimes, the best kind of healing isn’t found in staying still, but in movement: discovering incredible food, immersing yourself in breathtaking nature, indulging in a restorative spa day, and saying yes to something a little thrilling—just enough to shake off the dust and wake your heart back up. In my experience, the Big Island of Hawai’i is the perfect place for exactly that. It gives you space to breathe, room to explore, and the kind of beauty that gently puts things back into perspective.
