My Story
I have been visiting Japan since 2005 and have planned hundreds of custom trips there. Eleuthera is also close to my heart, with family history there stretching back centuries. In addition to travel planning, I teach piano and guitar lessons to kids and the young at heart.
Travel Style
As a traveler, in return for the highest hospitality, I am the lowest-maintenance guest and always grateful above all. My ideal clients are similar.

Brian did an excellent job communicating and meeting our needs. I recommend him to others often.

When we arrived, people at the desk knew who we were, and the concierge treated us like valued customers. I assume Brian set the stage for all this. I felt like a VIP on my first stay at the resort. There was also a note from Brian and a bottle of wine compliments of the hotel waiting for us in room when we arrived.

Brian was the best to work with - extremely knowledgeable about Mitsui, Kyoto, and Japan in general. We had an amazing trip that was seamless. I couldn’t have figured out the itinerary without Brian.

Things to Do in Eleuthera, Bahamas
My love for The Bahamas, particularly Eleuthera, is personal – the house where my maternal grandfather was born, on Pine Street in Governor’s Harbour, still stands, and I grew up visiting Nassau and Eleuthera (when you could still travel there with just a birth certificate). I proposed to my wife on family land in Eleuthera and can’t wait to show the kids this part of their ancestry. While you can certainly stay in style (think: the pink-sand resorts of Harbour Island), the greatest luxury lies in having that postcard-picture beach to yourself (yes, this still is possible here!).

The Japan Regular’s Guide to Japan
Japan is paradoxical in many ways. For one, the more I go (10 times and counting) the more I realize I don’t know – it is truly a land of “endless discovery.” One thing is for sure: every visit is filled with the wonder of the first. And the Japanese dedication to omotenashi – or hospitality plus – should be a model to us all. This guide offers travelers a glimpse at the amazing sights and sounds of Japan, but in a country with so much to do and see, I highly recommend chatting so that I can help to personalize your trip to your style.
