Travel style

I'm all about getting off the beaten path when I travel. Sure, Tokyo and Kyoto are worthy of a few nights, but the real experience in any country is once you get out of the cities and take the path less-traveled. This can be intimidating, which is why I always strive to provide clients with a detailed plan and enough support to help them feel comfortable exploring hidden gems!

Stephen's reviews

Stephen was extremely helpful from the beginning. Immediately scheduling a phone call with us to learn about what we would like to accomplish in our Japan trip. He was super knowledgeable on specific places we had to visit as well as giving the best food recommendations. He was always in our best interest and wanted us to stay in the best hotels, consistently looking at rates for us to get the best deals. He made sure we arrived safely and always reminded us he was just a phone call away just in case we had any questions. Super thankful we had him help with our first trip to Japan!

Stephen is a total pro: easy to work with, thorough, and quick. Will definitely recommend him to friends! He made arranging my travel a breeze, and I’m confident he got me the lowest prices. Very individualized and thoughtful approach to customer service. Will use him again.
