Custom Travel Planning

Plan your perfect journey with expert guidance.

Planning a trip shouldn’t feel this hard

You’re excited about your adventure, but the planning process has become overwhelming. Endless YouTube videos, conflicting travel blogs, hours scrolling Reddit threads—and you still don’t have a clear plan that actually fits together.

What if you could hand this over to someone who’s actually done it?

  • Get a personalized itinerary crafted just for you—no generic tourist routes
  • Insider knowledge from someone who’s actually lived in your dream destinations
  • Confidence knowing every detail is covered—from cultural etiquette to hidden gems
  • Smart budget strategies that maximize your experience without overspending
  • Finally stop second-guessing and start booking with complete peace of mind

With 25+ years exploring 40 countries and living in 6 of them, I bring your vision to life with personalized itineraries full of meaningful experiences, cultural connections, and unforgettable moments.

Meet Your Travel Planning Partner

I’m Agni, a Canadian travel planner based in Vancouver with over two decades of turning travel dreams into reality—not just for myself, but for travellers like you who want something more than the typical tourist experience.

I’ve lived in Nepal for 4 years studying Tibetan Buddhism at Kathmandu University, taught yoga across Israel and in permaculture programs, travelled overland from Panama to Mexico, explored Europe in a Volkswagen van, trekked to Everest Base Camp with only a guitar on my back, and spent years embedded in local communities from Shanghai to Malaysian villages.

As a Chinese Medicine doctor and yoga teacher with mixed Chinese-Malaysian, English, Irish, French, and Scottish heritage, I bring cultural understanding and practical expertise to every journey I plan.
