I was born in South Korea, raised in the Philippines, and have lived everywhere from Salamanca, Spain to London, UK to Madison, Wisconsin. I've since put down roots in the Chicago suburbs as a wife and mom to 3 busy girls. However, my global exposure and personal interests have always kept me on the pulse of the latest trends in fashion, food, decor and of course, travel. When I'm not selling travel or traveling myself, I also work as a fashion stylist for Janet Mandell, a luxury rental company.

My favorite Destination and why: Tuscany for the undeniably beautiful landscapes paired with incredible food and wine. A new favorite is Japan. I fell in love with its energy, food, and culture, the contrast between modern advancements and the deep respect the people hold for their history and culture. 

Areas of Specialty: Multi-generational trips, Family trips, Couples trips, Girls Trips

My Travel Style Is: Very detailed, cuisine-focused, balanced itinerary with action and relaxation mixed in.

Languages: English and Korean

Fun Facts About Me: 

I started a food business out of my home during Covid. It was included in Eater Magazine's list of Chicago's Hottest New Restaurants, featured on a TV segment and I was interviewed on a podcast. 

I work as a stylist for a luxury rental company on the side and fashion is a passion of mine, along with travel.

I've been planning annual multigenerational trips for my own family for almost 20 years. I find so much value in getting away to connect with your loved ones without distraction.
