I’m Kiran Aslam, the proud founder and CEO of this passionate travel company that has been dedicated to transforming how people experience the world for the past seven years. What started as a dream has now become a thriving platform where adventure, discovery, and personal growth meet. And my journey to founding VagaTales is not just about building a business; it’s about my deep passion for travel and how it has changed my life in profound ways.

My professional background is as diverse as the countries I’ve explored. I started my career as an ACCA finalist, equipped with a deep understanding of finance, accounting, and business strategy. Over the next 12 years, I honed my expertise in the finance and HR sectors, working across industries like telecom, digital media, network marketing, and the regulation sector. These years of experience taught me the value of strategic decision-making, business management, and the importance of adapting to the evolving needs of clients and businesses. But as much as I thrived in these fields, something else kept calling me, something that was deeply personal yet universal: “my passion for travel.”

Travel became my life-changing revelation. It reshaped the way I viewed the world and my purpose within it. From the historic charm of Morocco to the enchanting beauty of the Seychelles, my travels introduced me to diverse cultures, unique traditions, and unforgettable experiences. From the bustling markets of Vietnam to the tranquil beauty of Switzerland, every journey reinforced my belief that travel is more than just a luxury—it’s an essential experience that enhances your understanding of the world and enriches your life.

With this newfound passion, I knew that I wanted to share this transformation with others. That’s when the idea for VagaTales was born. Combining my expertise in finance and HR, my entrepreneurial spirit, and a relentless desire to help others experience the magic of travel, I set out to create VagaTales, a company that doesn’t just offer travel services but also provides journeys that empower people to grow, learn, and transform through exploration.

Over the years, I have expanded my global network by traveling to destinations such as Turkey, Singapore, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Scotland, Denmark, Norway, France, Switzerland, Spain, and Italy. These travels have not only shaped my personal experiences but also enabled me to build a vast network of travel experts, local guides, and industry professionals. This global network allows me to craft unique, tailored travel experiences that reflect the richness of the destinations and the dreams of every traveler.

What sets VagaTales apart is our commitment to curating journeys that go beyond sightseeing. We create immersive experiences that connect you with the culture, history, hidden gems, and spirit of each place. Whether it’s a cultural tour of ancient Egypt, an adventure through the jungles of Southeast Asia, or a relaxing retreat in the heart of Europe, VagaTales offers something for every type of traveler. We believe that every trip should leave you feeling inspired, transformed, and connected to the world around you.

In addition to my role as CEO, I serve as the Bureau Chief of North Region for Holiday Weekly, one of Pakistan’s leading travel magazines since 1978. This role allows me to remain at the forefront of the travel industry, constantly exploring new trends, destinations, and innovations. I am also honored to be an Associate Member of the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and a Lifetime Member of the Asian Business Forum. These affiliations provide me with valuable opportunities to collaborate with industry leaders and further my mission of making travel accessible and transformative for all.

My vision for VagaTales is simple: travel should be an essential part of everyone’s life. It should be more than a privilege reserved for a few—it should be an opportunity for growth, learning, and connecting with the world on a deeper level. At VagaTales, we make it our mission to promote travel as a transformative experience that opens doors to new cultures, histories, and perspectives.
