Amy Sim
Her love for travelling and adventure started at a young age during those bi-yearly school holiday travels with the family. In 2009, she caved in to pursue her dream of travelling the world by quitting a highly paid job and packed her bag for 20 months, going around Africa, Middle East, Central & South America and Antarctica, covering more than 30 countries during this time. This life changing trip left her with lots of memorable experiences and profoundly affected her future decisions upon her return to Singapore.
Having many years of sales experience in the automobile industry and the last few stints with supercars such as Maserati and Mclaren, she finally decided to do what she loves; travel. She enjoys travel planning and feels passionately about bringing new authentic experience to her clients. She believes that luxury travel is about the experience and less of an appearance. Local culture might not be so glamorous but it is always memorable.

Ress Legaspi
Every summer, her dad will take the family for a road trip to see plantations, volcanoes, mountains and beaches in Philippines. Her earliest memories was of her dad making makeshift beds in their van for them to sleep on during the long hours of travel. Some trips were planned but most of it is were just impromptu. A quick getaway to Boracay or Bohol or even a 6 hour trip to Baguio but always left her with deep memories.
In 2011, after moving to Singapore, she had the chance to see more of South East Asia. Her most unforgettable experience was when she travelled alone to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia; waking up at 4am to catch the glimpse of sunrise in Angkor Wat. ” it is just amazing, it truly felt like a different era” she quipped
She constantly looking forward to her next trip and always excited to meet new friends along the way.
She believes that for one to enjoy their trips, you have to go where the locals go and eat where the locals eat. Travelling is no longer she about ticking of the boxes of ” been there”Favourite travel quote: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain
Cindy Yong
A true blue Singaporean who loves her street food and is fascinated by languages and foreign cultures, She travels extensively and often squeezing a few extra days to her business travel while working with IBM, heading the Supplier Service Department. During this time, she also discovered the joy of solo travel as it means she can be more flexible with plans and it also forces her out of her comfort zone which is really great way to expand the mind further. Her best loved destinations are China and South East Asia where the cultures are very fascinating.
After 10 years with IBM, she have decided to take a plunge and do what she loves. Currently she is juggling her time doing the 3 cherished things; studying for her degree in Higher Chinese and working in the travel industry as well as being a wife and mother to her 3 boys. Although it sounds like a lot but when you are doing what you love, it is not work. Its not a cliche!

IT IS YOUR HOLIDAY
With a bespoke holiday with your own guide and transport, you are free to explore the destination and immerse in the culture just the way you like it.

It is your dream holiday – own it.
