Travel is better
when someone
has your back.
Curated planning for trips worth taking. Hotels, trains, restaurants, logistics — handled. You show up and enjoy it.
I plan trips the way I want my own trips planned — thoroughly, personally, and without the guesswork.
I'm a certified Fora travel advisor with a network across four continents and a particular obsession with Japan. I've walked the backstreets of Kyoto, navigated Tokyo's subway at rush hour, and eaten my way through Osaka's alleyways. That firsthand knowledge goes into every itinerary.
But Japan isn't the only place I know well. Whether it's a honeymoon in Italy, a family reunion in the Caribbean, or a solo adventure in Southeast Asia — I handle the research, booking, and logistics so you don't have to.
The details, sorted.
You dream it. I build the itinerary.
Itinerary planning
Day-by-day schedules with pacing that makes sense. No 7-museum days. No wasted transfers.
Hotel sourcing
Properties that match your style and budget — from boutique ryokans to business-friendly chains.
Restaurant reservations
Hard-to-book tables, local favorites, and dietary restrictions handled in advance.
Transport & logistics
JR Pass strategy, airport transfers, domestic flights, and the connections between them.
Activity booking
Museum tickets, guided tours, cooking classes, onsen reservations — locked in before you land.
Real-time support
Mid-trip changes happen. I troubleshoot, rebook, and adjust so you stay on track.
Japan is a specialty.
Four years of Japanese study. Yearly trips. JLPT-tested and working toward fluency. This isn't armchair travel — it's lived experience.
I know which train to take, which side of the platform, and which convenience store has the best onigiri. I can read the menus, navigate the apps, and explain the customs. If Japan is on your list, you want someone who's been there, done that, and made the mistakes so you don't have to.
