Tagline
VIAKU provides one-on-one, customized travel planning services for time-challenged professionals, their families and friends.
About me
At VIAKU we specialize as much in our clients as in the destinations. Our Curated Travel Program is designed to create, plan and deliver a one of a kind travel experience that perfectly matches your unique travel style. Think of it as the travel version of the perfect food and wine pairing. My role is to distill vast amounts of travel information down to those destinations and experiences that best match YOUR travel interests (hobbies & activities) and travel style (personal preferences & budget) - in short, to be as well versed in you, the client, as in the destination.
My travel philosophy is See Less, Experience More.” I believe that the quality of the experiences you have while traveling is as (or more) important than the quantity of experiences. And each of those experiences should be as individual and unique you are.
Why I love my job
Travel Matters. It builds self-confidence, empathy and understanding. Helping clients take those "trips of a lifetime" that create lifelong memories and change who we are because of the experience are why I love my job.
