Hi Reader, How are you doing? I am just back from Japan after two weeks there and already missing the wonderful food, all the matcha flavored sweets, the soul-filling moments and the thoughtful way of everyday life. Japan is a country that really changes you; Through my many trips, it has made me a more considerate person, opened my eyes to what maintaining traditions and culture alive in a modern society looks like and taught me to be more caring, more thoughtful of the details. It is hard...

Hi Reader, I hope you are doing well wherever you are. I am writing this from Kyoto, where we just finished our first tour to Japan. This was an absolutely wonderful experience that I shared with 11 guests all but one of which had previously traveled with us, so it was nice to catch up with old friends and meet new ones! Japan is a place that stays with you; The very considerate and thoughtful way of life coupled with a culture that honors traditions while also merging them with modernity...

Hi Reader, I am in Japan having a really magical time with the guests on our first tour. The cherry blossom season is in full bloom, and we got the timing just right, and it's just really magical to see the petals floating and the blankets of trees in perfect springtime mode. There are many options for trips to Japan but I am incredibly proud that ours supports women owned businesses and meets with so many Japanese women to truly go behind closed doors and learn about this unique and...

I hope you are doing well today. I am already in Japan, I arrived yesterday and I will be meeting all the guests who are joining our first tour to the country tomorrow. Almost all of them have traveled with us before, and I personally know many of them, so it will be fun to reunite with old friends. I am exciting to see our guide Mari, plus the pretty sakura cherry blossom, and meet again with the many Japanese women I met last year who will share their knowledge, their art and their world...

Hi Reader, How are you doing? How are the last days of spring or fall going for you? I spent the last two days buying most of the flights I need from now till October because I am concerned the hike in fuel prices will make the prices for the many long haul flights I need to take go up. I bought flights to Dubrovnik and back from Split for our Croatia sailing scouting, to Brisbane, New Caledonia and French Polynesia, plus return via Aukland for our French Polynesia scouting (these took...

Hi Reader, How are you? This simple question can be so complicated to answer, but know that when I do, every week, it is genuine, and you can always reach back out to us if we can help with anything. We do read and respond to every email that comes into our inbox. Today's tip is a funny and fun one, a light hearted one to hopefully make you smile in the current grim news cycle, and it is also one of my pet peeves: How to find out if the bathrooms in the hotel you are about to book has proper...
