Blending Cultures, Crafting Unique Journeys

The name Kajaari came from three of us: Kaia, Jasbinder, and me — Costa Rican, Indian, and American roots woven together into one name and, eventually, one business. Travel has always been where those worlds connect for our family. It seemed like the right thing to build from.

What Makes This Different

I work with a carefully vetted network of local operators, guides, and properties — people and places I've researched thoroughly and trust to deliver the kind of experience I'd want for myself.

​

What that means for you: no generic routes, no hotels chosen for convenience, no activities added just to fill the itinerary. Every piece of your trip is chosen with intention, based on real knowledge of what works, what fits your travel style, and what will actually make the trip feel like yours.

Meet Ariana

I grew up in Costa Rica before I knew what a travel itinerary was. My sense of a place came from living in it: the rhythm of the rainy season, which roads hold up in June, what the Pacific side feels like versus the Caribbean. That's the kind of knowledge you can't get from a research trip.

I started Kajaari because being from Costa Rica gave me something no agency could replicate. I wanted to put that to use for people who actually cared about the difference.

​

I hold a degree in Ecotourism and am currently completing a Master's in Environmental Sciences, because understanding how tourism affects the places it touches matters to me, not just how it looks on an itinerary.

​

Every trip I plan gets my full attention. Not a template, not a formula. A real conversation about what travel means to you, and a plan built around that. For every destination, I work with vetted local operators I trust to deliver the same standard I'd expect for myself.​

In their words...

Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish

I had an amazing experience working with Ari. She was so attentive to my little details and made the trip even better than I could’ve ever imagined/expected. She was available during the trip as well to answer questions and help out in anyway that I needed. She was able to take all my requests and bring it together with planning out an amazing trip for my husband and I. We would recommend her 100%!
