Travel obsessed Mom-of-Three, currently living in Southeast Asia. 36 countries visited so far!
My Travel Style
I love all kinds of travel: the ski and diving trips with my family, the couple trips I take with my husband to run marathons or discover a wine region and the solo travel to see family and friends. I enjoy the luxury of 5-star hotels and champagne ready upon arrival, as well as the non-air-conditioned huts on the beach on a tiny Indonesian island. Having travelled, lived and worked in many different countries since the age of 18, I have a thorough understanding of how the world works, and how to be a conscious traveller. I think everyone should travel, explore and widen their viewpoint, but it needs to be done in a manner that is respectful to the local community, mindful of the environmental impact and free of animal cruelty. If this way of travelling is yours too, then I'm sure I can help you plan the most amazing trips for you and your family.

I couldn’t believe how helpful Linda was with planning our trip! I had never used a travel advisor before, and Lin came highly recommended—deservedly so! She was timely with her responses, made the booking process seamless, and presented information in a tangible manner. Her recommendations on local activities and travel tips were the cherry-on-top to an already positive experience. Thank you for everything, Lin!!

Linda listened to what we were looking for and showed us some good hotels right away. Once we've figured we wanted a bit more luxurious and needed to add some budget to our weekend, Linda came with another set of great hotels and we were ready to book. The communication was great and she responded very fast. Also, she gave us some great ideas to do when we were there. She also made sure that the hotel knew when we'd arrive and, if possible, they would ready the room for us earlier than official check in time. I would definitely work with her again if I need another weekend or vacation booked.

From the very beginning, communication with Lin was fast, clear, and effortless. Every question was answered promptly, and she made the whole process incredibly smooth. Her personal recommendation of Hue Riverside Villa was absolutely perfect — it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip.
On top of this, Lin thoughtfully upgraded me to the “honeymoon suite,” which was such a delightful surprise and made my stay even more memorable. It showed not only her professionalism but also her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients.
Thanks to Lin, my time in Hue was truly special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again for future travels. She is absolutely wonderful and I feel very lucky to have been looked after by her.

Lin helped me plan a two week trip. When I came to her I wasn’t even sure where we wanted to go as a family of 6. After much discussion, she suggested Thailand! It could not have been more perfect. The planning part was made so enjoyable, she gave us many options and worked within our budget. We did a lot of moving (5 hotels, three different locations) and Lin coordinated and set up transportation or special requests at every place. Ours had more work involved too because we are a bigger family. The communication was amazing! She even went above and beyond and had a special box waiting for us at our first hotel. The box was filled with necessities we would need in Thailand, gifts for the kids and even a special birthday gift for a child celebrating while on our trip! So thoughtful and perfect way to start the trip! She coordinated with hotels a special anniversary display (which was a complete surprise to us!!) and again at two hotels for my daughters birthday! This trip was flawless, an amazing two weeks in Thailand that far exceeded my dreams. Thank you Lin, for helping create such beautiful memories with my family. I would highly recommend using Lin if you are looking to take a trip anywhere…she is so knowledgeable and has such great experience in so many countries! Your confidence, organization skills, travel experience with children, and kindness were just some of the reasons why working with you was amazing! Thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions. Forever grateful and wish our vacation didn’t end!

Linda provided our family with personalized advice that perfectly matched our wishes and needs. A perfect mix of adventure, nature, and fun activities for (young) children made it an unforgettable trip. Her knowledge of Japan and local tips were very helpful and much appreciated. I highly recommend Linda as a travel advisor!
