Hello! - your future travel advisor
I founded Alkimiya in 2017 after a lifetime of living and traveling around the world. Every continent except Australia and Antarctica has been home at one point or another (there’s still time). What began as a passion for exploration has grown into a full-service travel agency dedicated to creating personal journeys for my dear clients. Our name, Alkimiya, the original word for alchemy, reflects the spirit of our mission to create sublime experiences. That can mean a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or simply a few blissful days among friends, connecting with a pool and a perfect plate of fries (equally noble pursuits, in my opinion).
My own travels are spurred by personal curiosity, an obsession with standout properties I plan entire trips around, a love for beautiful scenery, and oftentimes, exploring a destination so I can report back to clients. I’m frequently torn between the outdoors (mountains are a pervasive theme) and kinetic, glittering cities with staggering skylines. It can make choosing a destination somewhat challenging, but clearly, I manage.
I believe travel should be safe, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexuality, or background. As a multi-ethnic, third culture kid shaped by a lifetime of global exploration, I have a particular connection to the needs of women of colour, mixed couples, and Muslim travellers — groups whose experiences I still find to be underrepresented in the industry. My belief in inclusivity guides our ethos to make every client feel seen and understood. I take the time to learn what truly lights you up and then leverage my incredible network of passionate destination experts and hoteliers to make your travel dreams come true.
Wherever you’re headed, let’s make it sublime.
