About


Taya & Gary Ng are a jet-setting Canadian husband and wife team who scour the globe searching for the best luxury travel destinations the world has to offer.

Through photographs and written articles, they provide detailed accounts of tropical beach excursions, gourmet culinary journeys, and luxury resort experiences. Their articles have been featured on major publications such as TRAVEL + LEISURE. And since they possess over 20 years of combined experience in the hospitality industry, The Ngs have high standards when it comes to hotel and restaurant reviews.

Not only have they visited over 244 cities around the world, but these “ex-expats” have lived in Seoul, South Korea, Brunei (on the island of Borneo), and have spent extensive time in the United Arab Emirates.

244 cities visited, and counting!

Taya and Gary were both born and raised in Victoria, on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where they graduated from the University of Victoria. The couple was married on the beach in Dubai and honeymooned in the enchanting islands of the Seychelles (off the east coast of Africa). The Ngs now live in Vancouver where they run the publishing corporation, and parent company of 9to5 Travel, GNG Media Inc.

GNG Media Inc. owns and operates a network of leading online publications. Its digital portfolio consists of various genres including travel, sports, technology, gastronomy, and more. The company was incorporated in the province of British Columbia in the Fall of 2008.
