South America
Chile — Patagonia
Backpacked the W trek in Torres del Paine. The wind has opinions; the views earn every step. Good for active travelers comfortable with weather.
Destinations
Field notes from places I've actually been.
These aren't stock photos and AI-written summaries. They're stops from my own travels — the kind of context that shapes how I plan a trip for you.
Europe
Scotland
Slow drive through the Highlands. Single-track roads, ancient bridges, distilleries that take their time. Pair it with a few days in Edinburgh.
Asia
Japan
Sukiyaki in Osaka was possibly the best meal I've ever eaten when traveling.
Europe
Iceland
A short loop around the Golden Circle — waterfalls, geysers, and Þingvellir in a single big day. Enough to know I want to go back for the ring road.
Europe
Spain
A white village at dusk, quiet streets, and the kind of place where dinner starts at nine and nobody rushes. Spain is easy to underestimate — and hard to forget.

More places I can plan from experience
AlaskaI've been
Big cruise country — Inside Passage, glacier days, and small-ship options that get closer.
HawaiiI've been
Six islands, six moods. I'll match the right island to your pace and party.

Athens plus the right pair of islands. Ferries, whitewashed villages, long lunches.
Mexico
All-inclusives, colonial cities, cenotes, or a mix — depends on who's coming.
BelgiumI've been
Lived in Belgium for three months in college. Great base for weekend trips across Western Europe.
RussiaI've been
Lived here for two years. City itineraries, Trans-Siberian planning, and off-the-beaten-path advice.
KyrgyzstanI've been
Lived here. Mountain trekking, yurts on Song-Köl, and a side of Central Asia most people miss.

Lived here. Happy to plan everything from Banff to Quebec winters.
AustriaI've been
Vienna coffee houses, alpine lakes, and Sound of Music countryside.
SwitzerlandI've been
Backpacking, alpine huts, train passes that pay off.
VietnamI've been
Solo trip — north to south, street food, sleeper trains, Ha Long Bay.
AustraliaI've been
Family trip — Sydney, the reef, a road segment that surprised everyone.
ColombiaI've been

EnglandI've been
London plus countryside — easy pairing with Scotland or Ireland.
IrelandI've been
Dublin, cliffs, small towns and better pubs than you're picturing.

Cities, castles, Christmas markets, and the Romantic Road.

Amsterdam plus Utrecht, Haarlem, and the tulip season if you time it right.
SlovakiaI've been
Underrated — Bratislava, Tatra mountains, easy add-on to Vienna or Prague.
South KoreaI've been
Seoul food scene, DMZ day trips, and Jeju for a slower pace.
TaiwanI've been
Taipei night markets, Taroko Gorge, hot springs. Big flavor, small country.

Layover-friendly, high-end resorts, desert experiences, and a launchpad to the region.
KazakhstanI've been
Almaty base — mountains, steppe, and a mash-up of Soviet and Silk Road history.
