Japan

Serge R.

Hi lovely travelers, I'm Serge, originally from the Netherlands, and Japan has been my home for over three decades now. What brought me here initially was love, and that love has kept me rooted in this beautiful country ever since. Along the way, I discovered another love: Japan itself. Following my stint as a radio jockey and TV presenter, where I co-hosted a dedicated program for the Nagoya Grampus soccer team, I transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role as a media fixer for international media outlets. Though my job as media fixer, I've been traveling and working throughout all of Japan, exploring unique places and meeting lots of very interesting people. I would love to share and make you, my dear traveler, experience these places as well. Visiting and getting a tour at Japan's oldest traditional vinegar maker, or experience and taste at a traditional "katsuo bushi" bonito flake maker, or do you prefer to visit some old local shrines or temples. with no-one around you, except for the crickets and trees. Maybe you just want a friend to bring you to your desired locations and interpret and be at your beck and call 24 hours (like I do for the media). If you're looking for flexibility (time, places. transport), you won't find a better match than me. My work as a fixer taught me a valuable lesson: the key to traveling together successfully, lies in a blend of humor, professionalism, and adaptability.

Hayoung Y.

Hi, I’m Hayoung. You can also call me Iris. I have always been drawn to things that feel different, so I want to make your trip less typical, more personal, and closer to the local side of Korea. I’m a licensed local guide based in Seoul, with a young, trendy, and stylish perspective on Korea. I love introducing both the classic side of Seoul, such as palaces, history, and culture, and the modern local side, including fashion, cafés, beauty, food, hidden spots, and current trends. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a travel blogger and majored in fashion design. This background helps me create tours with a good sense of storytelling, photo spots, style, and practical travel tips. I also have my own curated list of more than 1,000 restaurants & beautiful spots, so I can recommend food & sightseeing spots based on your taste, budget, mood, and travel style. I can also create custom tours based on your interests, whether you want modern Seoul, palace tours, fashion and shopping, local food, Korean nature, or even remote hidden destinations beyond Seoul. (especially NATURE) More than anything, I truly love travel and meeting people from around the world. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and excited, like exploring Korea with a local friend who also happens to be a professional guide. Let’s explore Korea together and make your trip unforgettable!

Japan

Sara E.

"Chuuganabira" or "Hello" as we say here in Shuri! I'm Sara. My mother is Japanese from Nagasaki and my father is American from Pennsylvania. I spent my formative years between Japan and the U.S. giving me a naturally bicultural outlook and global sensibility. I am a hospitality professional with over 35 years of experience in Japan’s international hotel and tourism industries having held senior positions with world-renowned hotels. I've welcomed distinguished guests - from artists and actors and political leaders and celebrity chefs. I have also worked as a simultaneous interpreter for major Japanese organizations supporting large scale cultural and international events. I relocated from Tokyo to Naha in 2003 because I totally fell in love with this beautiful port city during my travels - the warm friendly people, delicious local food, rich history and culture and most of all the breathtaking turquoise ocean and magnificent blue sky. My passion is making people happy through "omotenashi" - the Japanese art of polite, thoughtful and respectful hospitality. I specialize in Shuri Castle tours and have insider access to Shuri Castle through my onsite research, membership in the Shuri Castle Friendship Association and a close relationship with both the castle's staff and the Okinawa Churashima Foundation which operates the castle. I also have deep ties with the descendants of the Sho royal family, offering rare insights into the history and culture of the Ryukyu Kingdom. I am looking forward to introducing you to the royal, majestic and fascinating world of Shuri!

Japan

Charley S.

Konnichiwa - - - Charley here. Originally, I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego for the first quarter century of my life. In 2000, I moved to Aichi Prefecture, Japan. One of my main goals was to play music with Japanese musicians, particularly in the underground music scene, which I've been a part of throughout my life. Also, I wanted to enjoy and explore the beauty of living in a foreign country. I've been living here for 25 years, and can gladly say that I have been engaged thoroughly in both of those goals. Since the beginning of moving to Japan, I've always chosen to hang out and engage with Japanese people as opposed to other foreigners. I often find myself in izakaiyas and concert events where I am the only foreigner, but fortunately I am on good terms with the staff and other customers. So if you are looking to see the less touristy aspects of Japan, please feel free to get in touch with me and I would love to share what I have come to appreciate about Japan. Cheers !

Passionate about exploring the world through the eyes of those who live, interact, and truly experience the essence of the city.

Italy

Tullia G.

My name is Tullia, I was born in Veneto and my roots are firmly planted here. I love the territory where I live, from the Venice Lagoon to the cities of art, from medieval villages to the peaks of the Dolomites. In Venice, different cultures from the Mediterranean basin, Asian lands, and far-off lands of the East come together. And like Venice, which has traveled for more than a millennia, discovering different worlds, so am I: I love meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, and I love traveling… walking at a slow pace. This is why from my philosophy of life, I have created a profession, with the goal of allowing my guests to embrace all the atmospheres, art, architecture, history, culture, and cuisine of the Veneto territory.

Ethiopia

Bereket T.

My name is Bereket, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with you. As your authentic and unique gateway to the uninterrupted daily life of my people, I aim to offer tailor-made, responsible, and genuine travel experiences for both individuals and groups. Born and raised in the heart of the Omo Valley, Jinka, I have a deep respect for Ethiopia's diverse ethnicities, its rich culture, and its stunning landscapes. The Omo Valley is renowned for its cultural attractions, and I have dedicated my life to sharing this beauty with others. From a young age, I was passionate about becoming a tour guide, inspired by the senior guides in my area. With a strong desire to pursue my dreams, I worked diligently to earn my professional tour guiding license after moving to the capital, Addis Ababa, due to the lack of educational opportunities in my hometown. I graduated from Lion Ethiopia Tourism and Hotel College, earning my tour guide certification on April 12, 2020, and my Tour Operation Supervision certification on August 6, 2021. Since then, I have been fortunate to work as a tour guide, exploring the magical destinations throughout Ethiopia. My extensive experience and knowledge allow me to create incredible itineraries that cater to your adventurous spirit. I genuinely look forward to hosting you on your Ethiopian journey and promise to do my utmost to ensure a remarkable experience.

Japan

Mari Y.

Hello! I’m Mari. I’ve lived in Ube, Yamaguchi for 26 years and worked as an English teacher at a local middle school. I'm the proud grandmother of a 2-year-old girl and a 5-month-old boy.   My hobbies are traveling, walking, and playing tennis. My love for travel was sparked by my homestay experiences in Scotland and California, USA. Living outside Japan taught me so much, but what I cherish most about my homestays was the 'weekend small trips'. I fondly recall the picturesque Highlands and a B&B in Scotland, where a kind elderly couple welcomed me warmly. During an overnight bus trip from California to Las Vegas, I was mesmerized by the breathtaking sunrise changing the sky brighter and brighter. Travel is special because of the small, soul-stirring moments. I love to travel and am happy to help others experience these wonderful moments too. Maintaining my mental and physical health is also a significant interest of mine. I’ve always liked playing tennis as this is a therapeutic sport for me and I can get so much stress As a morning person, my favorite routine taking a stroll in my neighborhood and giving a prayer at the local shrine sunny or rainy. I would love to show you around the relaxing local neighborhoods of Ube City!
