Benjamin Visham
Originally from the Maldives, I have been part of the travel industry for more than 9 years, mainly working in luxury resorts. Traveling has been my passion since childhood, sparked by unforgettable trips with my dad. After every journey, I found myself writing about my experiences, which inspired me to share them with travelers who could benefit from my insights. I am passionate about curating exciting, personalized travel plans based on your preferences, ensuring you enjoy an inspiring and memorable journey to treasure forever.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in creating unforgettable journeys across Thailand, from the vibrant streets of Bangkok and the cultural treasures of Chiang Mai to the stunning southern islands like Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, and Samui. I craft curated, one-of-a-kind experiences that reveal hidden gems, authentic moments, and memories travelers will cherish forever."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My travel journey began in my early childhood, traveling alongside my dad. Those experiences sparked a deep love for exploration and meaningful travel. As I grew older, this passion naturally led me into the travel industry, where I learned how to design unforgettable journeys, share trusted insights and travel guides, and create seamless travel experiences through both my professional work and personal adventures."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of the most defining moments in my journey was during the pre-opening of a luxury resort, where I was responsible for managing over 300 VVIP travel arrangements, handling both international and domestic transfers during a highly critical and exciting phase. Behind the scenes, it required precision, long hours, and constant coordination, but seeing everything come together seamlessly was incredibly rewarding. Knowing that my efforts contributed to a smooth, stress-free, and memorable experience for every guest is something I deeply cherish and an experience that shaped the way I approach travel planning today.
Knowing I played a part in creating those first memorable moments for them is something I truly carry with me in every journey I plan.
