I am not in this alone…

One thing I need you to know about working with me is this: I’m never doing this alone.

Behind every itinerary we design is a trusted network of on-the-ground partners around the world. They’re our eyes and ears long before you arrive, and our support system while you’re there.

We’ve intentionally built relationships with a small, vetted group of destination specialists around the world who help us:

▪️ Stay ahead of openings, closures, and seasonal shifts

▪️ Secure the best local guides, drivers, and experiences

▪️ Handle real-time support if plans change while you’re traveling

▪️ Add thoughtful, local touches you won’t find online

When you travel with us, you have access to a team on the ground in the same country you’re traveling in. 

Meet some of my closest partners

and say hello to my people!………….. 💖

Sugeng

Planning a journey across Indonesia’s 17,000 islands demands more than logistics. It requires deep local knowledge and passion. With 25 years’ experience, Sugeng knows how to craft immersive adventures, from pristine dives and liveaboard cruises to rice-terrace cycling and vibrant festivals.

Indonesia is known as the Coral Triangle because it has a large portion of the global marine life, containing a diversity of coral, reef, and fish species. We have Mantas in Komodo National Park, Whale Sharks in Sumbawa, Dugongs, Hammerhead Sharks, Whales in the Alor archipelago, and many more.

Giles

“I first met Athena a couple of years ago in the United States, and since then she has visited all of our properties in Kenya (Giraffe Manor, Solio, Sasaab, Salas Camp in the Masai Mara). She ensures she has first‑hand knowledge of everything she recommends, which gives her an exceptional understanding of the experiences she is curating for her travelers. Athena is positive, diligent, and consistently a pleasure to work with.”

All guests staying at our properties directly contribute to our Footprint Trust, through which we support a wide range of conservation, health, and education initiatives. Last year alone, we were proud to raise more than $2 million to advance these vital projects.

Nicholas

With over 25 years of experience living in Asia, Nicholas and his team bring deep regional knowledge and meticulous operational delivery in the complex countries of Asia. Our close collaboration enables seamless journeys built around authentic, immersive experiences, made possible through hands on, in country expertise and strong local relationships that reveal a side of Asia many travellers do not get to see.

A lesser known fact about traveling to Thailand is that for those willing to wake before dawn, this is when the true essence of the country reveals itself. From monks walking the streets to collect alms, to markets filled with produce fresh from nearby farms, early mornings offer a calmer, warmer, and far more human side of Thailand that most visitors miss.

Stamatis

If you look up the word “cosmopolitan” in the dictionary, you ‘ll see the picture of a tall brunet with smart eyes and an enchanting smile. His name is Stamatis, and he has been dominating the travel industry for over 10 years now. He is knowledgeable, well-traveled, academically gifted, and communicative.

Stamatis, aka Super Stam, is an invaluable member of the Eclectic team and adored by his colleagues for his positivity, team spirit and above everything, his wicked sense of humor!

Elbia

Elbia is french wizard. One of the greatest advantages of working with her team is access beyond the obvious. In France and Switzerland, some of the most extraordinary moments happen behind closed doors — private château visits, intimate vineyard tastings with the winemaker, or private stylist shopping in Paris.

This behind-the-scenes support is one of the biggest differences between booking a trip and having it professionally managed.

As always, we’re here when you’re ready to plan your next adventure.
