About Me

Asia Family Travel Specialist

Hi, I’m Alissa, your go-to family travel advisor for memorable vacations across Asia. I help busy parents trade research overload and planning stress for curated, seamless experiences that bring joy, connection, and memories that will turn into family stories.

As a Korean American who grew up in Chicago and has lived in South Korea for over four years, Asia is not just where I send my clients—it’s home. I’ve spent decades traveling extensively throughout Asia with my own family, including my two little ones, which means I know first-hand what it takes to balance cultural immersion with kid-friendly ease. From stroller-friendly temples in Kyoto to toddler-approved beach resorts in Thailand to hidden-gem cafés in Vietnam, I specialize in trips that blend cultural discovery with comfort and practicality.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I was a Spanish Immersion teache so education and cultural connection are at the heart of every itinerary I design. I’m also trilingual, which helps me connect with local guides, uncover authentic experiences, and anticipate details that most travelers (and advisors) might miss. My background as a teacher, mom, and expat gives me a unique perspective on how to make travel both enriching and effortless for families of all ages.

My clients love that I don’t just “book trips” - I offer a full concierge-level care. That means handling every detail from flights, hotels, and transfers to private guides, curated excursions, and on-trip support through apps like WhatsApp and Tern. You simply pack your bags and show up; I’ve already made sure your journey is seamless.

Some of my favorite destinations to design (and visit myself) include: Thailand – with its golden temples, buzzing tuk-tuks, and family-friendly beaches. Vietnam – where lantern-lit streets meet stunning coastal escapes. Japan – a perfect balance of ancient tradition and modern magic. South Korea – my second home, where culture, food, and innovation blend seamlessly. Singapore & the Philippines – tropical, vibrant, and surprisingly kid-friendly.

Whether you’re dreaming of a stress-free beach escape, a cultural journey that connects your kids to the world, or a multi-generational trip that feels effortless for everyone, I’m here to design it all. My goal is simple: to save you time, eliminate decision fatigue, and create a trip that feels like it was tailor-made for your family.

I believe that family travel isn’t just about getting away—it’s about writing your family’s story through the places you discover together. And I’d love to help you write your next chapter.

My Client's Testimonials

This was the best trip ever! Alissa took such good care of me. She pinpointed the best places and hotels for me to visit. I felt so pampered. I am not a traveler, but after this experience, I think I’m becoming one thanks to the wonderful planning by Alissa from Tern. I will highly recommend them to my friends. I don’t think my vacation could have been any better, it was perfection! It was magical! A good memory that will last a lifetime. -Connie C. Trip to South Korea

"The trip to Tokyo, Japan was amazing. The itinerary was detailed and easy to follow. The trip was amazing and fun, having you plan took the stress away and the anxiety I had about traveling." Haley Y. Trip to Japan

Couldn’t have done this without her
Reviewed By Rose Potter - South Korea | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Alissa was very wise to send us to lesser known Shiga instead of our original plan of Kyoto. We realized that when we got there and, instead of insane crowds, we got a peaceful ryokan experience that we couldn’t have facilitated ourselves. The thing that I found most valuable about this experience was that she was on hand to support and help throughout our trip. It was reassuring and helpful to be able to text her, and several times throughout our trip she helped to smooth out bumps we were experiencing.

"Aw yay!! Glad it was a unique experience for your family and so happy I was able to help! :) Excited for your next trip!"

As a person who loves to travel, but does not enjoy making decisions and planning, I cannot recommend Alissa enough. Alissa has planned two of our trips so far and I look forward to working with her on our next. She goes above and beyond to make sure your vacation is stress free. Her food recommendations always hit. Thanks Alissa!

The trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Connie909 - Seattle, Washington | Traveled to South Korea | East and Southeast Asia
I took my first trip to South Korea and it could not have been better. Alissa took such good care of me. She planned the entire trip around my preferences. She kept me updated on changes due to national holidays. She literally was there for me when I needed her especially when using the subways. My entire trip was almost three weeks and it was magical from the beautiful and traditional locations to the hotels. I can't wait to book another trip with her. I highly recommend if you are going to travel, to book everything with Alissa, she know what she is doing and your trip will be amazing.
Alissa Watts responded
"Thank you so much, Connie! I loved getting to plan your very first trip to South Korea. It was such a joy making sure every detail fit your preferences and that you felt supported the whole way through. I’m so glad you got to experience both the beauty and culture of Korea in such a memorable way. I can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
