About Us

Meet Our Founder

I believe travellers are curious individuals, open to new experiences and to connecting with people from other cultures. This is my personal travel philosophy, one that has shaped my vision in the travel industry for more than three decades. It has also served as a foundation for establishing Trails of Indochina as a leading expert in tailor-made travel to Southeast Asia.

I am truly passionate about sharing local, authentic experiences that are both meaningful and transformative. Visiting Southeast Asia can be life-changing for both adults and young travellers, especially when genuine connections are made with the local people. Experiences such as volunteering time to teach simple English in a poor village can create a positive impact, not only for the school children but for the traveller as well.

The team at Trails of Indochina shares my passion and travel philosophy. You can be assured that as we create your custom travel itinerary, it brings us genuine excitement to deliver a unique and highly personalised experience that is enduringly meaningful and memorable.
