Why Book with The Private Traveller? Unlocking VIP Perks and Bespoke Journeys

Welcome to another edition of my Travel Diaries series. Over the years, I’ve travelled across more than 65 countries - staying in some of the world’s most luxurious hotels and fine-tuning the art of truly elevated travel. Now, I’m here to help you experience it all - with a tailored approach that takes the stress out of planning and replaces it with something far more exciting: exclusivity, access, and intention.

Hidden among Bali’s lush forests lies a place where serenity and soul meet. Ubud is a retreat for the senses, and I know the boutique villas, wellness sanctuaries and secret spots that turn a trip into something transformational.
Let me help you discover Bali beyond the obvious.

Bespoke Journeys, Built Around You

This isn’t cookie-cutter travel. Every itinerary I create is designed with your interests, rhythm, and lifestyle in mind - whether you're planning a wellness retreat, a city break, or a once-in-a-lifetime escape.

With deep destination knowledge and a little black book of global contacts, I bring you immersive experiences that feel personal and seamless - like they were made just for you (because they were).
