Travel Deeper. Live the Story. Journey with Ken Her.
My Journey from Passion to Purpose
There was a time when travel, culture, and deep storytelling were simply passions living in my heart. Growing up surrounded by the beauty and complexity of Southeast Asia, I learned early that the real treasures of life aren't things — they're moments, connections, and stories waiting to be shared.
Every path I've taken — from learning ancient traditions to walking untold trails — has shaped me into a host who believes travel can heal, inspire, and transform.
Since then, I've had the honor of hosting guests from all over the world — travelers who came as strangers and left as family. Their words, their smiles, and their stories continue to inspire me every day.
Today, I invite you to experience a different way of seeing the world — not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest. Not just to witness — but to feel. Not just to go — but to belong.
Welcome to my world.
Welcome to Southeast Asia's soul. 🌿
My Message to Fellow Travelers
As the founder of Brother Tours Laos, I believe that every journey begins with a personal connection. For over a decade, I've had the privilege of welcoming travelers from around the world to our beautiful corner of Southeast Asia.
Travel is about more than just visiting places—it's about connecting with people, understanding their stories, and becoming part of a larger narrative. These welcome cards represent my personal invitation to you: to experience Laos not as a tourist, but as an honored guest in our home.
Each card I write carries the same spirit of hospitality that has guided Brother Tours since our beginning in 2010. It's my way of saying: "You're not just another traveler—you're part of our story now."
With warm regards,
Ken FJ Her
Founder, Brother Tours Laos

From Local Roots to International Host
Growing up immersed in the rich tapestry of Laotian culture, I developed a deep appreciation for our traditions, stories, and connections. My childhood was filled with village festivals, river journeys, and listening to elders share wisdom.
With a vision to share authentic Laos with the world, I founded Brother Tours. What began as a personal mission to connect travelers with real experiences has grown into a respected name in Southeast Asian tourism.
Introduced personally-hosted journeys, creating immersive experiences that went beyond typical tourism. These journeys focused on cultural exchange, sustainable practices, and authentic storytelling.
Developed our unique community-based tourism approach, ensuring tourism benefits flow directly to local villages. This model has since become a benchmark for sustainable tourism in Laos.
Today, Brother Tours hosts travelers from over 40 countries, maintains partnerships with 12+ local communities, and continues to innovate in sustainable, authentic travel experiences across Southeast Asia.
