Asia Destinations Expert

Travel has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. As a professional ballet dancer and Dance Captain with The Phantom of the Opera International Tour, I’ve spent years performing throughout Asia, living in incredible destinations for weeks—and often months—at a time. These extended stays allowed me to experience each place beyond the typical tourist perspective, immersing myself in the local culture, food, traditions, and everyday life.

My career has taken me across mainland China, where I’ve lived and performed in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and many others. I’ve also spent extended time in Manila, Bangkok, and other cities throughout Thailand, multiple cities in South Korea including Seoul and Busan, throughout Taiwan, and in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

These experiences have given me firsthand insight into what makes each destination unique, from hidden local gems to iconic attractions and unforgettable culinary experiences.These experiences taught me that the best trips go beyond sightseeing—they’re about connecting with a destination and its people. Having navigated different cultures, transportation systems, languages, and customs, I understand what it takes to make international travel smooth, enjoyable, and memorable.

Today, I combine that firsthand knowledge with my passion for travel as the founder of Ballerino Travels. I stay up to date with the latest travel trends, destination updates, hotels, and attractions so I can provide personalized recommendations tailored to every traveler wanting to explore Asian destinations.
