My Story
Over my 7 years as a travel consultant, I have gained an intimate understanding of various destinations and customers' needs. When interacting with clients, I swiftly grasp their interests and create personalized itineraries within 24 hours, catering to diverse demands, from fun-filled family vacations to romantic getaways. An example of creating memorable moments is when I helped a client celebrate his birthday at the Great Wall! Handling travel emergencies has also honed my problem-solving skills.
During my time as a tour guide, I conversed face-to-face with clients, gaining a profound understanding of their cultural backgrounds and travel preferences. With this firsthand insight, I could craft truly personalized and memorable trips tailored to each client, ensuring their travel experiences were not only enjoyable but also enriching and meaningful.
My experiences as both a travel consultant and tour guide inspire me to write engaging articles packed with practical tips. For example, my activity recommendations are tailored to suit the preferences of various travelers. I encourage couples to celebrate milestones beyond traditional candle-lit dinners by suggesting romantic local festivals or ceremonies, such as the Lantern Festival in Thailand. Families with children are encouraged to engage in hands-on experiences, animal interactions, and enjoyable outdoor activities like farming activities in Vietnam, visiting an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, and going on a sunset quad bike ride in Cambodia.
RitaMy Travel Highlights
I'm a huge travel enthusiast myself, traveling at least once annually. One of the most vivid memories I cherish is witnessing the sunset at Myanmar's breathtaking Shwedagon Pagoda. The gleaming golden structure against the backdrop of twilight, coupled with the tranquil chants of local monks, left an indelible mark on me. It's moments like those that remind me why I fell in love with travel in the first place. It's not just about ticking boxes on a bucket list; it's about soaking up the culture and finding your zen in the chaos. And if I can sprinkle a little of that magic into someone else's journey through my writing, well, that's the dream right there.
