If you love to travel but most things make you nervous, this is the site for you.
On the outside, I may seem cool as a cucumber but most of the time, on the inside, I’m a cat hanging from the ceiling. I also happen to be an obsessive planner. On this website, I’ll share itineraries and chronicle my travels in hopes that my quirks will be to your benefit and help you with your own travel plans.

If you’re not nervous, slow clap, great for you.
The next trip on the itinerary is a three-week odyssey across Japan and South Korea.
