Hi, I’m Hallie (but you can call me Hal)
Your travel planning pal, and the person behind the custom itineraries you’ve been dreaming about.
I’m a travel advisor specializing in Asia travel, helping you plan seamless, personalized trips without the overwhelm of doing it all yourself. While many people search for an “Asia travel agent,” what I offer is a more elevated, high-touch approach to travel planning. Think fully customized, thoughtfully designed, and built around you.
How It Started
My love for travel didn’t come from quick trips. It came from truly living it.
My passion for travel started early, when my family moved to England while I was just three years old. I spent the formative years of my childhood immersed in different cultures, thinking that kind of global perspective was simply normal.
After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in International Relations, I moved to South Korea, using Seoul as a base to explore Asia more deeply. From navigating fast-paced cities to discovering hidden gems beyond the typical tourist path, I learned how to travel in a way that feels both exciting and effortless.
Over the years, I’ve traveled to 30+ countries, with a strong focus on Asia, including destinations like Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and beyond.
Today, I bring that experience into my work as a travel advisor. While many people begin their search for an “Asia travel agent,” what they’re really looking for is a trusted expert who can take their ideas, turn them into a seamless, thoughtfully designed itinerary, and guide them through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. That’s exactly what I do.

Asia Travel Advisor vs. Asia Travel Agent
You might be searching for an “Asia travel agent,” and while that’s a common term, my approach goes a bit beyond traditional travel agents (in the best way).
As an Asia travel advisor, I focus on designing fully customized itineraries tailored to your travel style, preferences, and pace. Rather than booking pre-set packages, I create thoughtful, seamless trips that are built specifically for you.
So while I offer everything you’d expect from an Asia travel agent, my role is more hands-on and personalized, guiding you through the entire process and ensuring every detail works together effortlessly.
