Janine Yu, Bookings Team
Trip Designer
Born and raised in tropical Cebu, Philippines, Janine Yu is an island girl at heart. While much of her childhood was spent at the beach, she endeavored to travel as much as possible, covering most of Asia, crossing over the Pacific and eventually ending up in New York, where she’s lived since 2006. Before joining Indagare, Janine wrote for travel publications and worked for a luxury tour operator to Asia. Janine has a BA in Communication from Ateneo de Manila University and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School.
