Japan

To truly understand a place as diverse and unique as Japan, you need nothing short of a local. Born and raised in this wonderful country, I am eager to share my understanding of Japan's rich history, language and culture. I'll make sure you see more than your average tourist (and then some) while traveling this exotic island. With 25 years of professional travel counseling under my belt, I can customize the trip to your specific needs -recommending the best museums, sightseeing, hotels and restaurants in each area. I'll take you past Tokyo and Kyoto, introducing you to less-traveled locations like Nara, Nikko or Kyushu. Call or email me today, and let me show you what I've known all of my life - that with a little planning and forethought, almost anything is possible in Japan.

Cruise - Alaska and B. C.

With over two decades in the travel planning business, it takes a special destination to turn my head. All it took was one Alaskan cruise and I was hooked - this fascinating terrain is absolutely breathtaking, with vast, sweeping landscapes on par with places like Switzerland or New Zealand. I've traveled the area by foot and by sea, and a cruise is the absolute best way to see the area - but my knowledge extends past the water. With a personal knowledge of Alaskan territories and Canadian cities, I can also assist you with day trips and stays outside the ship. Contact me today and let's get started.
