ABOUT ME
meet the founder, Kai
Hi there! I’m Kai (pronounced “k-eye”), and I’m thrilled to share my not-so-subtle obsession with travel with you. Whether it’s losing myself in the buzz of a city or finding peace on a beach with a cocktail in hand (because, priorities), every journey has been a lesson, a story, and an inspiration. Through this blog, I’m here to help you turn your travel dreams into unforgettable adventures with stories and insights designed to spark your wanderlust.
intro
My passion for travel started early, shaped by growing up in a multicultural family with roots in France, French Polynesia, Canada, and the USA. Picture lots of food, lots of languages, and stories that never seemed to run out. This upbringing gave me a deep love for exploring cultures, sampling cuisines, and discovering unique landscapes. It also taught me the universal truth: the world is an absolute stunner, and just has to be explored!
upbringing
Fun fact: I honed my travel expertise working closely with the skilled concierge team at the Four Seasons. It was there I learned the art of personalized travel and just how impactful customized insights can be. Now, I’m spilling all the tea with authentic recommendations and behind-the-scenes industry hacks to help you truly understand travel, and to make sure your adventures are anything but ordinary.
background
For me, travel isn’t just a love language, it’s the whole rom-com. Helping people discover new destinations is my ultimate joy, and for years I’ve been the go-to trip planner for friends and family. Turning their vacation dreams into epic adventures? Chef’s kiss. That passion for sharing my know-how and insider knowledge inspired me to create SKAIS. So buckle up, grab your metaphorical passport, and let’s get started!

What is SKAIS?
Travel Sea to Sky with Kai
SKAIS (pronounced “skies”) brings to mind the endless sky above, but there’s more to the name... I’ve added a unique touch by weaving my name, Kai, into the brand, which means "sea" in Hawaiian, creating a seamless blend of sea and sky. This fusion inspired my tagline: "Travel Sea to Sky with Kai", reflecting my passion for exploring the world and sharing those experiences with you.
At SKAIS, I’m sharing the adventures and lessons that have shaped me, so you can take your own journeys to the next level. Whether you’re all about solo trips, group getaways, or romantic escapes, I’ve got tips for all travel styles to match whatever kind of adventure you're looking for. Plus, you’ll find my travel guides for the cities I’ve had the pleasure of calling home, packed with local tips to help you experience a place like a true insider.
Drawing from my experience in luxury travel and hospitality, I’ve picked up a few tricks of the trade to make your travels feel extra special. It’s all about the little moments that turn a trip from “okay” to “wow.” I’m here to share all the behind-the-scenes secrets that really make a journey unforgettable. At SKAIS, it’s not just about planning a trip, it’s about creating memories you’ll keep long after you’ve returned.
