sneak peak of me
journey of growth
24 Feb 2026
It was past midnight when I dropped my bags on the floor of yet another hotel room. The bed was too firm, the air conditioning too loud, and through the thin walls I could hear muffled conversations I didn’t want to hear. I had an important meeting in six hours, but sleep felt impossible.
I lay there staring at the ceiling, thinking about how much money I’d just paid for a room that made me feel more exhausted than when I’d arrived. That’s when it hit me: if I—someone who travels constantly, who understands what matters—felt this disconnected, how many other travellers were lying awake in rooms just like this one, wishing for something better?
That restless night became the first seed of what would eventually become our hospitality journey. Not from ambition or a business plan, but from the simple, uncomfortable realisation that the way people were being welcomed into cities needed to change.
