Hello, I’m Qianyu Guan, the founder and chief travel designer at Ruby Private Travel Company. I am dedicated to crafting personalized travel experiences and custom itineraries for a discerning clientele around the world, including many Mandarin speakers. Born and raised in China, I pursued my education in the United States from high school through graduate school, earning a degree from Brown University.
After gaining valuable experience in consulting and as a luxury real estate agent, I discovered my true calling in travel. I have traveled extensively, exploring diverse cultures and landscapes across Asia in my youth, and later throughout Europe and North America. My itineraries are carefully crafted, highlighting unique dining experiences and must-visit locations that resonate well with those who seek authentic and memorable travel adventures.
Now, as a travel advisor, I am living my passion, which I consider the best job in the world. I find immense joy in traveling and am committed to ensuring that my clients have extraordinary experiences as they explore the globe. I currently reside in Irvine, California with my husband, where we enjoy the rich cultural tapestry of our community.
In my travels, I am most drawn to the quiet beauty of nature—places where I can immerse myself in the tranquility of the great outdoors and gaze upon the vast expanse of the Milky Way. I find it challenging to single out one favorite trip, as each journey offers its own unique highlights that deeply resonate with me. Whether it’s the serene silence of a starlit sky or the awe-inspiring sight of a landscape that stretches to infinity, these moments are profoundly moving and often leave me emotional. Such experiences, where I am touched by the natural beauty around me, are not just memorable; they are the essence of what makes travel so precious to me.
