Hi, i'm alissa.

Your #1 travel advisor, planner, designer, supporter & friend.

I’m a Korean American born in Seattle, raised between Seoul, Busan, and Chicago, and now living near Seoul with my husband and two little ones. My life has always been rooted in cross-cultural experiences, from childhood summers in Korea to backpacking the world with just a carry-on before kids. Mexico and Argentina are where I feel most alive, while Hawaii taught me how deeply nature restores me.

Before kids, my husband and I would throw on backpacks and wander the world without much of a plan. These days, our adventures include one extra suitcase stuffed with diapers, snacks, and tiny clothes. Traveling with little ones is definitely not the same as backpacking as a couple, but it’s taught me that family trips can be both messy and magical—and those are the stories I love most.


At the heart of it, I’m just a mom who loves culture, food, and seeing the world through my kids’ eyes. I’ve learned firsthand which places are stroller-friendly, how to balance fun with downtime, and how to turn the stress of family travel into something a lot more joyful. For me, it’s about creating memories that we’ll laugh about, cherish, and carry with us forever. I believe travel is one of the most powerful ways to create family stories worth telling again and again.

Thailand

The buzz of tuk-tuks weaving through colorful streets.

The scent of sizzling street food—garlic, chili, lemongrass drifting through the air. The taste of mango sticky rice, sweet and creamy against the heat of the day. 
The laughter of children splashing in turquoise waters.
The hum of a night market alive with music, chatter, and neon lights.
The calm of long-tail boats drifting between limestone cliffs at sunset. The warmth of a Thai smile that makes you feel instantly welcome.
