asia

Asia is full of flavor and rich with culture — from the vibrant textiles of Jaipur, to monkeys swinging through the trees in Bali, to temples and rice fields in Thailand, to the stunning beaches of Bora Bora. Asia can often feel like a big undertaking, especially when it comes to logistics — which is exactly where my trusted on-the-ground partners make all the difference. These connections help take the what if out of the experience, ensuring your trip is seamless, authentic, and filled with enduring memories.

There are so many incredible boutique hotel brands in Asia that you may not have heard of — Capella, Six Senses, and Aman, just to name a few. These properties fully immerse you in the destination, incorporating art from local artisans and materials sourced from the surrounding landscapes. I often hear from clients how genuinely kind and welcoming the people they meet along the way are — it’s one of those special aspects of Asia that tends to stay with you long after you return home.

Thailand is a great introduction to Asia — it’s the perfect mix of it all. Start with the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Then head to Chiang Mai to explore elephant sanctuaries and ancient temples and unwind on the stunning beaches of Phuket or Koh Samui — the perfect ending to a trip that offers culture, adventure, and relaxation.

One of my favorite experiences in Thailand? A hands-on cooking class with a Thai grandmother — learning all the tips, tricks, and family secrets of the trade. 

What do I think is on the rise in Asia? Sri Lanka! From elephant safaris to breathtaking train rides through the hill country to surf-ready beaches, it’s a destination rich in culture and natural beauty. Sri Lanka offers an incredible range of adventure, relaxation, history.
