About the Author
As a Singaporean personal assistant with over a decade of experience, I've had the extraordinary opportunity to travel to more than 40 cities worldwide. This unique position has given me privileged access to some of the world's most exclusive spaces and experiences that most travelers never get to witness.
My journey began as a straightforward job but has evolved into something much more profound. Through sleepless nights preparing for important meetings, troubleshooting travel mishaps, and navigating the emotional challenges of being thousands of miles from home during significant life events, I've developed a perspective on luxury travel that few others possess.
A Life Between Worlds
The reality of my lifestyle involves constant packing and unpacking, endless flight connections, missed birthdays and holidays, and the perpetual state of being "on call." From London penthouses to summer homes on the Amalfi Coast, I've experienced luxury from behind the scenes—witnessing both the breathtaking privileges and the exhausting demands of this lifestyle.
Despite the 3AM calls, the last-minute flight changes, and the constant need to be available, there's an indescribable fulfillment in being the person who makes impossible things happen. This bittersweet existence has shaped my identity and given me insights into global travel that come with both professional pride and personal cost.
The Mission
Through The Traveling Assistant, I aim to document and share the vulnerability, privilege, exhaustion, and wonder that come with this extraordinary life. My mission is to provide readers with authentic, candid insights into luxury travel while maintaining a delicate balance between discretion and storytelling.
This platform represents my desire to process the complexities of a life spent in constant motion and to bridge the gap between the glossy perfection portrayed in travel magazines and the messy reality of what happens behind closed doors. By sharing these perspectives, I hope to not only chronicle my unique experiences but also create a space for reflection on privilege, service, and the human connections that transcend cultural and economic boundaries.
