Maryse LaRocque

I lived in Japan and Indonesia for almost 30 years, where I worked with luxury and boutique products. Back in Canada since 2020, I want to share what I know, the experiences I found, and the travels I know you can have. It’s one of my Ikigai: driven to share moments of true discovery, moments that make us feel the vibrant earth, people, and nature. I have worked with South Sea Pearls, Asian wines, luxury hotels and resorts, and gourmet restaurants. They are my world, wrapped up in experiences to share. I’m a storyteller with many stories to share. My favorite city in the world is Istanbul. I will encourage guests to feel true luxury: time. My hobby is collecting artwork and pieces that remind me of my journeys. I have a blog and website where I share them: Ethnique Chique.
