About Me

As a travel agent professional for South Korea, I can say that the country offers some of the most unforgettable travel experiences in the world. For example, you can stay overnight in a Buddhist temple. In fact, many temples feature stays where visitors can truly enjoy true peace and solitude. Moreover, you can wake up in the morning to the chants of prayers, cleansing the body, mind, and spirit before eating a meal of local vegetables and healthy delicious foods. Indeed, the culture is truly different from the West, so you’ll love traveling to this part of the world - purely for the experience. For instance, imagine sipping tea in a traditional tea house in Seoul. In the midst of the metro madness, you can actually discover serenity between the teahouse walls. You’ll also love listening to the music of the gayageum, which is a traditional stringed instrument.  In addition, you can haggle with vendors in Seoul’s open marketplace - bustling centers of activity that are scattered along crowded streets and winding alleyways.  You really have not experienced Korea until you elbow your way through crowds and buy items in the marketplace. Even if the item is already dirt-cheap, it is still fun to get caught up in the excitement of bargaining. You’ll also love relaxing in one of the country’s hot saunas or experiencing a soothing water massage at one of the country’s spas.  You might also want to add a traditional Korean performance to your list of activities. You can find this type of entertainment whether you’re visiting Seoul or hanging out in a village that sits in the middle of nowhere.  South Korea always has a festival taking place as well, so you’ll find it fun attending a traditional mask dance or just enjoying the sound of a bamboo daegeum - a fluted instrument. If you’re a history buff, you might plan a visit to the country’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) - one of the remains that once represented Soviet Russia and U.S. animosity. Naturally, as a travel agent advisor, I like to promote visits to the country’s temples. For example, I recommend a visit to Silleuksa, which is South Korea’s only lakeside temple. Believe me, it is worth the journey. The temple, established in 580, is nestled among low hills- a wonderful spot to reflect quietly. You’ll get mesmerized in the carved dragon reliefs and feel spell-bound when you see the lotus blossoms.  Spring is the ideal time to see the temple, with all the flowers in bloom, or in the autumn, when the gingko trees show off their yellow leaves. It seems like Mother Nature has lit up the entire landscape. You also don’t want to miss the giant bronze Buddha displayed at the Beopjusa Temple. The temple towers over the mountainous terrain - truly a spectacular statue to see. I hope you love South Korea as much as I like being a travel agent professional and sharing its wonders. Let’s plan your next trip to South Korea today. Feel free to call me anytime. I can craft an itinerary that is both exciting and memorable.

Africa my Bucket List Dream Vacation
Reviewed By Fox - Buffalo NY | Traveled to Africa
Nanta set up the most amazing African safari vacation for me and my buddy Bryan. Flights from Buffalo, New York to Nairobi and return. Flights from camp to camp on Safari link airline. Very smooth. They take care of your luggage have priority, check-in and a customs preference line no waiting. The Elewana Brand 5 Star Camps in Loisaba Lodo Springs, Sand River Mara and Serengeti Pioneer Camp amazing. Gourmet food fully stocked bar French wines all included. Staff so very friendly. Safari game Drive guides knowledgeable, they know all the spots where to find different types of animals. We saw the big five during the first two days of Safari. Words can’t describe my experience. It’s a must due trip. Africa is an amazing country. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

INCREDIBLE SAFARI TRIP!!!
Reviewed By BryanB - Myrtle Beach SC | Traveled to Africa
I really don't have a bucket list, but one trip on my list was an African Safari. Nanta made that happen for myself and a buddy of mine. What she put together for us was exactly what I had dreamed about. In fact, it was better! As you can imagine, my buddy and I didn't know anything about Africa and certainly didn't want to make mistakes while planning it ourselves. Everything Santa planned moved seamlessly. Accommodation selections were top notch. EVERYWHERE! Car service pick ups were on time. I couldn't have been happier.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
