My Story
Hey there, I'm Yaya, the brains behind Cruise Elf LLC, hanging out in the awesome DFW, Texas. Spent a solid six years cruising with the big shots like Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Carnival Cruise Line. Was even the go-to assistant shore excursion manager for Holland America Line, so you know I've got the inside scoop on crafting killer travel experiences.
My wanderlust took me through 71 countries across all seven continents, including six chilly visits to Antarctica. Checked off all Seven Wonders of the World and embraced my backpacking obsession in loads of cool countries.
When it comes to planning, I'm your guy – flights, cruises, excursions, you name it. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, I'm here to make sure your Cruise Elf journey is nothing short of epic. So, buckle up for a laid-back adventure with a dash of expertise – Cruise Elf style!
