Don't overschedule your itinerary and always leave room for discovery - perhaps an amazing restaurant, concert, or gallery that you only just heard about. Or spend a day just sitting at a beautiful cafe and people watch.

Japan is probably my favourite destination. I love the food, the culture, the history, the people and the aesthetic, all with a dash of the delightfully quirky.

I try to anticipate possible pain points or challenges in an itinerary based on who the clients are and their needs. For example, solo travellers, families, and retirees will all have varying interests and needs. I always try to have a plan to prevent any possible challenges.

The world is currently on my bucket list! But rigt now my ultimate wish list holiday would be an Arctic cruise, to explore untouched landscapes and spot polar bears.
