Asan Askin

I have been working in travel for since 2015, taking quite an unorthodox path to get here.

I was born in Izmir, Turkey and grew up in Germany and the Netherlands. I then moved to Washington, DC for college, where I worked in Congress, before heading to law school in Boston. My family’s vagabond life introduced travel into my life at an early age, but it didn’t take long for travel to go from necessity to passion (you can ask my parents for the binders of plans I made for my own airline at age 10… true story). After over a decade of working in the legal department of a major entertainment studio/company, I decided to turn the joy I got from planning trips (for myself, friends and family) into a career.

As much as I enjoy luxury travel, my passion is in adventure and sustainable travel: biking through Southeast Asia, horseback riding through Patagonia, hiking up a glacier in the Nordic countries; or driving or trekking around the African Savannah to see endangered black rhinos…sign me up for all of the above.
