✨ About Me
Sara Chan
Independant Certified FORA Travel Advisor
Hi, I’m Sara Chan — Your Travel Curator, Culture Translator, and Hidden-Gem Hunter.
Travel isn't just something I do — it's how I experience the world, connect with people, and tell stories. I'm not here to sell you a package. I'm here to design a journey that feels like you. Think of me as your personal travel curator — part advisor, part cultural concierge, part logistics wizard — who handles everything so you can immerse without stress.
With a background in hospitality and years spent obsessing over art, food, and global culture, I specialize in crafting experiences that blend deep storytelling with elevated comfort. Whether it's sipping matcha in a Kyoto garden, watching the sun rise over the Atlas Mountains, or taking your honeymoon on a glacier-fed fjord, my approach is always the same: intentional, thoughtful, and never cookie-cutter.
🔑 What I Believe:
-
Curiosity fuels unforgettable travel.
-
Comfort and culture can coexist.
-
No one needs another mass-market vacation.
-
Good design and better planning can change your whole trip.
💼 What You Can Expect:
✔️ White-glove, high-touch service from our first call to your flight home
✔️ Access to exclusive perks like upgrades, breakfast, and late check-outs
✔️ Custom itineraries designed around your pace, values, and passions
✔️ A travel advisor who listens more than she talks — but knows when to take the lead
When you Let Sara Plan It, you're not just booking a trip — you're commissioning a deeply personal journey. One that unfolds with beauty, precision, and meaning.
