Temples, markets, and river days
Asia is the trip that stays with people. A morning market in Bangkok, an ancient temple at first light, a slow boat down the Mekong watching the rice paddies roll by. The reward is huge, but the planning across Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Bali can knot you up fast. I untangle it. We sort out the route, the pace, and the experiences that matter to you, then I handle the bookings so you spend your trip soaking it in instead of squinting at train schedules in a language you don't read.
What I Plan Here
A small-ship river cruise threads Vietnam and Cambodia together in a way you can't match overland. Vinh Long, Phnom Penh's Royal Palace, the temple at Wat Hanchey. I can put you on a tight, well-run sailing where the rooms are limited and the access is real, then build your land days around it.
Angkor's ancient temples, riverside pagodas, the layered history you came all this way for. I line up the sites worth your time with guides who bring them to life, and I schedule them at the right hour so you're not melting in a midday crowd photographing the back of someone's head.
The food is half the reason to go. Street stalls in Bangkok, a cooking class where you actually learn something, a market where the produce is stacked higher than you are. I work these into your days so the meals become the memories, not an afterthought between sights.
An ox-cart ride through the paddies, a silversmith's workshop, a village where rice wine still gets made the old way. These small, real moments are what separate a great Asia trip from a bus tour. I find them and fit them in so your trip has texture you'll remember.
Why Not Just Book Online
You're probably wondering whether an advisor actually saves you anything. Fair question. The honest comparison, every moment of the trip: you with a booking site, versus you with me in your corner. The cheap booking is the expensive one when the trip goes sideways.
One thing I'll always be up front about: there may be a planning fee for my time and expertise. The commission is already in the cost of the resort or cruise price, whether you use me or not. The cruise line or resort just keeps my portion if you book directly, and they give you no extra guidance or help. I work for you, not the cruise line or the resort. I will always have your best interests in mind, and everything is customized specifically to you. Have questions, need more information, have concerns? I'm here to help with all of it! Many of the upgrades and money I help you save, more than covers my planning fee too, and you get my expertise and help every step of the way. Booking online, you get the same base price, none of the perks, and no one in your corner when something breaks.

One call. I already know the resort, the ship, the right month, the right room class. I send 1–2 vetted options.
