On motorbike somewhere in Ubud, Bali : )
I have always had wanderlust to travel to the far corners of the world and Indonesia was one of those corners.
I have travelled, worked and lived in Indoneisa. I love it there! The people are friendly, the food beyond imaginable and the weather, beaches and mountains to die for. There are street vendors everywhere; one can never go hungry. Shopping is unbelievably glamorous here and he malls are the most beautiful malls you could go to. The markets are alive and bustling with consumers bartering.
Jakarta is a bustling city, Yogyakarta is a town that will make you feel like you are living sometime in the past and then there is Bali, the island that will have you laying on the beach side soaking in the sun or the mountain retreat that will have you relaxed in the fresh air getting a massage that is out of this world.
If you have always wanted to go, but didn't know how or have the courage to because it is a long journey, don't fret. I can make this journey worry free and seamless. My contacts and suppliers are the best! There is so much to see and experience in this part of the world. Don't pass up your chance.

Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Jersey Travelers - Morristown New Jersey | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
We worked with Samantha when planning our travel to and from Thailand. We have family in Bangkok who handeled the travel arrangements for us in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. We chose Samantha because of her knowledge about Doha Qatar. We wanted to spend a couple of days there on our flight to Thailand. Her knowledge of the city, culture, and things to do was invaluable. From arranging flights, hotel and transfers, and a 1/2 day city tour, to answering all our questions, she was wonderful. Her responses were always prompt, and she even checked in with us when we arrived in Qatar.
We truly appreciate all that she did to make this a trip of a lifetime!

Excellent trip to Southeast Asia
Reviewed By Paul - Des Moines, IA | Traveled to East and Southeast Asia
Samantha helped us from the early planning stages through reservations, then problems during the trip and reimbursement for expenses which should have been prepaid by another travel company. She was very responsive to e-mails, phone calls and requests.She was able to suggest better alternatives to some of our initial requests flexible in making reservations for hotels, guides and internal flights. She worked effectively with Borden Travel to make local arrangements and follow through on two issues that arose.
I would certainly use her services again.
Samantha Ritchie responded:
Thank you Paul & Gloria! I am so thrilled you had a wonderful time and I hope that I can assist you again with your travels abroad. The pleasure was mine.
