The Travelling Assistant
by J.C. Yue
Welcome to The Traveling Assistant, where I share my unique perspective as a globe-trotting personal assistant. For over a decade, I've supported my boss across 40+ cities, gaining privileged access to the world's most exclusive spaces and experiences.
From midnight dinners in penthouse kitchens to the quiet moments before important meetings, my stories capture the extraordinary in-between moments most travelers never see.
My Personal Story
As a Singaporean personal assistant, I've spent more than ten years navigating the world alongside my boss. Through sleepless nights preparing for meetings, countless hours spent troubleshooting travel mishaps, and the emotional toll of being thousands of miles from loved ones during important life events, this journey has transformed me.
The missed birthdays and holidays blend together now, but they've shaped my unique perspective on what it means to live between worlds. Despite the challenges—the 3AM calls, the last-minute flight changes, and the constant need to be "on"—there's an indescribable fulfillment in being the person who makes impossible things happen.

The Traveling Assistant was born from my desire to document these bittersweet experiences and share a perspective few get to witness:
the vulnerability, privilege, exhaustion, and wonder that come with this extraordinary life.

Life in Motion
What began as a job has evolved into an exhausting passion for observing and documenting the nuances of global travel that have left me with insights that come at a personal cost few understand.
