I specialize in international luxury travel to many destinations including but not limited to China. My clients are primarily well travelled, independent, leisure travelers from all over the United States. I am delighted to plan travel for as few as two to multi-generational families groups.

I love working with clients to plan all aspects of their China travel. My unique perspective of being Chinese and having close family living in China but being born and raised in the United States allows me to share insights that others may not have. I have the ability to prepare plans independently but also enjoy working closely with my clients to ensure all details and expectations are met and exceeded. With years of experience as a business executive myself, I understand how to work with CEOs, senior executives, their families, and their assistants. I am comfortable communicating electronically, by telephone or in person. I also have expertise in luxury travel, sports travel, and business travel including group meetings.

My expertise is executive travel management for Global itineraries with a concentration in the Asia/Pacific destinations. I can offer exclusive access to special air fares to Asia through the First In Service Travel/Tezel network and my strong connection with the largest Chinese air consolidator. I also off strategy in using your mileage or points for free tickets and will be glad to offer my assistance in executing the transaction.

I strive to provide the client with travel experiences that is graceful and effortless, beginning from the first point of contact and 24/7 access to my personal assistance throughout the journey. I love to travel myself, and have been enjoying a thriving career in the travel industry for 22 years and counting. I am also fluent in the Chinese Culture because of my heritage. Since my daughter was born eleven years ago, I am very familiar with traveling with children on a personal basis.
