Let’s get to know each other. I am blessed with the name Ester, A variant of Esther, this vintage-sounding name translates to “myrtle leaf,” a plant that’s been used for a variety of medicines. I have the surname of Lenizo, that has given me a friendly, likeable nature, and says, I could excel in artistic, dramatic, and musical expression🎶. I am originally from Philippines, the archipelago of 7,083 islands in the South East Asia Pacific. The adventure channel made me a permanent resident of Italy that becomes my second awesome home sweet home country. Travel the world for Free.
ABOUT ME
My career in international business began earlier than most—at age 17, working days at an Audio-Visual company while attending university at night. That foundation of grit paid off when, four years later, I was sent to Japan on my first corporate assignment.
That trip didn’t just open my eyes to the world; it launched a 28-year career in the global tourism industry.
THE JOURNEY
From those early days, I grew into a Licensed Professional Tour Guide (8 years) and eventually a Travel & Tour Operations Manager (15+ years), specializing in the complex Japanese and Asian markets. Most recently, I have expanded my scope as a Senior Travel Designer for European tourism.
Executive Profile
“A seasoned industry leader operating at the intersection of Operations, Travel Management, and Business Development. I anchor leadership teams by leveraging decades of deep logistical acumen to engineer stability and drive consistent, long-term growth.”
Core Value Proposition
“Specializing in high-level strategic oversight as a Director of Operations and Business Development Lead. My strength lies in transforming complex logistical challenges into streamlined engines for sustainable commercial expansion.”
Area of Expertise
“Delivering executive-level impact in Operations Direction, Corporate Travel Management, and Business Development. I apply over 20 years of logistical expertise to optimize performance and ensure consistent organizational growth.”
Strategic Focus
“An architect of growth in Operations and Business Development roles. I utilize a lifetime of logistical expertise to build permanent, scalable solutions that drive business forward.”
CURRENT FOCUS
I currently operate as a freelance Tour Director in Europe. While I thrive in this high-pressure environment (the “unlimited stress” keeps me sharp!), my true strength lies in long-term operational strategy.
I don’t just want to travel; I want to help a forward-thinking company build a sustainable, profitable, and world-class travel business.
I am not a writer nor a blogger
This platform is the culmination of three decades of global exploration. I lay no claim to the title of professional author or photographer; the images shared here are candid moments captured through a simple mobile lens, and the words are unpolished reflections. However, what I offer is authenticity. Recognizing the finite nature of time, I established this archive to document the genuine insights and experiences of my past, present, and future journeys.
