Born and raised in The Netherlands, Frey has been living in Southeast Asia for the past decade. For as long as she can remember, her passion was to work in the hospitality industry and see the world. Hotelschool The Hague was a great starting point, where she was able to work in France and the Carribbean during her internships. Not only that, she also met the love of her life there. 

When in 2007 her then boyfriend, now husband, was transferred to Singapore, she joined him for an experience of a lifetime. More than a decade later they are still living in Southeast Asia. With 2 young kids they now call Bangkok their (temporary) home, and she can’t wait what the future holds for them.
