Hi, I’m Sam!
If you’re planning your first trip to Japan, Singapore, or anywhere else in Asia and wondering if you’re doing everything “right”, you’re exactly who I created this website for.
After years of travelling across Asia, I realised the best travel advice isn’t about squeezing more into your itinerary or ticking off every attraction just because the Internet says you should.
Instead, I want to help you make the right decisions for your trip, not your Aunt Mary or colleague Paul or some random stranger’s itinerary.
