Global Travel Agent Expert
Hi, I'm Areeya! Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to see more of the world. My first trip abroad was to China when I was 13. Since then, I haven't been able to stop traveling! I've already been to over 30 countries, and that experience inspires me to learn to speak five languages. My passion is to help you experience what the world and its people have to offer. Whether it's a weekend getaway to Vegas, a rejuvenating medical spa trip in Thailand, a waterfall adventure road trip around Iceland, or a month-long exploration of wine and food in France, I want to help you turn your travel dreams and bucket list into reality. The hardest part of any adventure is often the first step. I hope to be your guide and support you throughout your own travel journey. I want this to be my Ikigai, my reason for living, and my gift to the world. I really look forward to planning your next trip.

European dream trip!
Reviewed By CaseyG - Nyack, NY | Traveled to Europe
Could not have asked for a better experience working with Areeya! I'm not an experienced international traveler but had an ambitious European trip in mind to the UK, France, and Netherlands. It would have been a painstaking process to plan out all the details but she made the whole process stress free and fun! Areeya is so easy to work with and was super attentive to tailoring the trip to my needs. Her itineraries were spot on and were a perfect mix of must see sights, off the beaten track local spots, and fun activities. On top of her extensive travel experience, Areeya is a true food lover and her restaurant recommendations were also a highlight of the trip. The seafood restaurant she recommended in Amsterdam was both divine and affordable. Cannot recommend Areeya enough and will be working with her again for an upcoming hiking trip in Norway.
