“Travel with heart, and look after our clients for life.”
Hello, I'm Darren Li, founder and chief travel consultant of 8zTravel.
I studied tourism management in Taiwan and Australia. Since 2012 I have travelled across seven continents, more than 50 countries and 200 cities. In 2017 I co-founded 8zTravel to design truly private, unhurried journeys for families and executives.
I'm passionate about luxury hotels, diving and skiing, and I keep travelling to remote places such as Antarctica, the Galápagos, Tahiti, Tanzania, Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Iceland. At least 45 days a year are spent on the road, turning first-hand experience into the details of your itinerary.
More than a perfect trip, I care about becoming a travel partner you can trust for years to come.
