I was born in South Korea, raised in the Philippines, and have lived everywhere from Salamanca, Spain to London, UK to Madison, Wisconsin. Today, I’ve settled in the Chicago suburbs where I balance life as a wife and mother to 3 wonderfully busy girls. This global background has shaped my perspective and kept me connected to emerging trends in fashion, food, design, and most importantly, travel.

My favorite Destination and why: Tuscany holds a special place in my heart for its breathtaking landscapes paired with extraordinary cuisine and wine. More recently, I've fallen completely in love with Japan—the incredible energy, exceptional food culture, and the beautiful way modern innovation coexists with deep respect for tradition and history. 

Areas of Specialty: Multi-generational trips, Family trips, Couples trips, Girls Trips

My Travel Style Is: I believe in curating experiences that feel both luxurious and relaxed, always highlighting incredible food and beautiful spaces, with the perfect mix of adventure and moments to simply breathe.

Languages: English and Korean

Fun Facts About Me: 

During the pandemic, I launched a food business out of my home that was featured in  Eater Magazine's list of Chicago's Hottest New Restaurants, appeared on television, and landed me a podcast interview.

In my past, I worked as a luxury fashion stylist, and I've maintained a lifelong passion for both fashion and travel.

For nearly 20 years, I've been planning annual multigenerational trips for my own family. There’s something magical about stepping away from daily distractions to truly connect with the people you love most.
