I was born and raised in Bali, Indonesia, which has allowed me to experience rich and diverse culture, nature and wildlife throughout my childhood. After graduating, I worked as a travel consultant, which truly opened my eyes and heart to the world. This experience ignited a deeper passion for travel, which has only grown stronger over time. There’s something unforgettable about exploring new destinations, meeting fascinating people, and immersing yourself in different cultures – it leaves an everlasting impact.
I’ve been fortunate to visit some breathtaking places, including hiking Padar Island in Labuan Bajo, snorkelling with manta rays and sharks in Raja Ampat, witnessing the grandeur of Angkor Wat, and one of my most memorable experiences – spotting a wild leopard during a safari in Jawai, India. Besides travelling, food is another great love of mine, and a pastime which goes hand in hand with exploring new places – nothing introduces you to a destination like a trip to a local food market or sampling the regional specialities.
Being part of Jacada allows me to share my passion for travel by helping people create the trip of their dreams, while providing seamless support and assistance throughout their journey.
My most memorable trip
India
My most memorable trip is probably my recent trip to India. India is so rich in culture and nature that it makes you feel like you are in a different world. All the beautiful temples and buildings, the kind and friendly people, and their beautiful traditional clothes and dances made me feel truly immersed in the country. On top of that they have amazing wildlife, and spotting tigers, leopards and elephants in the wild was a real highlight for me.
On my bucket list
New Zealand
New Zealand is top of my bucket list for its breathtaking landscapes. From its majestic mountains such as Mount Cook to peaceful, natural settings such as Millford sound, the country offers unparalleled opportunities for adventure and outdoor activities.

Best destination for families
Japan
Japan is the perfect destination for families. Parents can immerse themselves in Japan’s rich history, temples, and cultural experiences, while kids can explore the country’s vibrant youth culture, including anime, manga, and exciting attractions like Universal Studios.

Japan offers a balance of enriching activities for both kids and adults, creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for the entire family.
My favourite hotel
Capella Ubud
My favourite hotel is Capella Ubud, in Bali. It's located in the jungle of Ubud. The stunning forest views and incredible interior design by Bill Bensley make it hard to leave the comfort of your room, although there’s plenty to do! Their food is exceptional and their personalised service truly sets it apart, making every stay feel uniquely special.
My top tips
Go to Angkor Wat early in the morning so you can take an amazing photo of the iconic Angkor Wat reflection from the lake in front.
When attempting the Padar Hike, the best time to go is early in the morning. Starting at around 05:00 am allows you to see the beautiful sunrise as well as beating the crowds.
Tropical climates such as Borneo can be very humid, so it’s important to stay hydrated.
Foodies in Bangkok should stay in the Phra Nakhon area, where many of the Michellin–starred restaurants are located.
