How did you get involved in travel?

"During my time studying in France, I often found myself strolling along the picturesque banks of the Seine River in Paris, completely captivated by the stunning architecture and numerous museums that lined its shores. In my free time, our university organized trips to the magnificent castles of the Loire Valley. It was there that my French professor advised me not to miss the opportunity to explore other European countries. Following this advice, I traveled to Italy with my friends during the holidays. The cities of Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan left me completely enthralled. It was during these moments that my love for travel blossomed.

After graduating, I made the decision to pursue a career in the tourism industry. Having worked as a tour guide for over fifteen years, I had the privilege of leading travelers to explore China's breathtaking landscapes and rich historical heritage. I also took groups to visit South Korea and Japan, where I encountered countless beautiful places and met amazing people.

One day, I received an unexpected email from someone I didn't recognize. They introduced themselves as a French couple I had met five years ago on a train in Japan while guiding a group. They expressed their deep appreciation for my professionalism and passion and requested my assistance in planning their trip to South Korea the following year. I was both surprised and deeply touched by their kind words. Working closely with them, I created a travel itinerary that catered to their interests, ensuring they had a truly memorable time. This experience marks the beginning of my journey as a travel specialist, crafting tailor-made trips for travelers and helping them fulfill their unique travel desires.

I find immense satisfaction in my work as a travel specialist for tailor-made trips. It allows me to help people uncover hidden gems and explore places at their own pace. The joy of witnessing their excitement and satisfaction is truly rewarding. I am grateful to be able to play a role in making their travel dreams come true."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I have had numerous memorable travel experiences, but one that stands out is a camping trip with my family on a mountain. It was a unique adventure that I will never forget. It all started when my husband and I decided, almost on a whim, to embark on our first-ever outdoor camping experience. Along with two other families, we began a three-hour drive and had to go up a narrow, steep, and winding road to reach the mountaintop. There, we set up the camps right underneath a wind turbine at a wind farm.

After successfully arranging our tents, we were treated to a stunning sunset. As the night fell, the kids and the guys retired into the tents, while us girls gathered around a small table with steaming cups of tea. We spent hours chatting away, marveling at the magnificent stars twinkling in the night sky. Later, after midnight, we witnessed an incredible surprise—the shape of the galaxy became visible before our eyes. It was a truly magical sight that exceeded our wildest expectations!

In the morning, we woke up early to witness a heartwarming sunrise. The sky was adorned with fluffy clouds, and in the distance, we could see hundreds of wind turbines majestically standing tall. It was a breathtaking view that left us in awe of nature's beauty and the courage of human beings.

That's why I love to travel and explore. You can always see something you cannot see at home, and you will meet people you have never encountered by staying in one place."
