My Story
Jet-setting millennial with a passport as diverse as her wardrobe. Travel in style, or not at all.
My Travel Style
Passport-stamped and globally inclined, I'm seeking not just sights but the soul of a place. Living abroad has been my crash course in culture, and my taste buds are as well-traveled as my suitcase. Give me a place to shop and a good meal (Michelin-starred or not, I don't care as long as it's tasty), and I'm in my element—normal, just with a penchant for the finer things.

Our first international trip was made unforgettable thanks to Misa's exceptional service. Right from our initial meeting, Misa took the time to understand our travel needs and crafted a seamless plan for us. She recommended great hotels, exciting excursions, and fantastic restaurants, and even shared helpful tips for shopping and staying safe in the city. Misa went the extra mile by checking in on us during our trip to ensure everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend Misa for all your travel needs, whether you're traveling internationally or domestically.

Working with Misa was like planning a trip with your friend, but imagine your friend has all the best recommendations and tips AND got you upgrades and perks. I certainly don't have any friends like that. Her timely communication and ability to see a step ahead of me made this trip so much smoother than I ever thought was possible. I can't wait to work with her on my next vacation!

Misa is great to work with. We planned our first international vacation with family with different needs and requirements and Misa assisted us through it all. Misa made herself available via zoom and email answering all of our questions and giving us practical advice and recommendations. We traveled to both London and Paris and Misa assisted us with accommodations, travel to and from the airports and excursions. Misa was able to give us information about the pros and cons of where to stay, location and amenities, and we we happy with her assistance.

Misa was AMAZING! She understood our specific traveling needs on a tricky overnight layover. She helped us shop around our options and ultimately helped us book at the best value hotel that met all of our needs. I highly recommend working with Misa Kabashima to book your travel arrangements. She is an expert who makes the experience stress-free and fun.

Misa Kabashima was awesome! Great communication and really helped to narrow down the plethora of hotels in the area to the best option for my group of 35. Will be doing all future travel planning whether personal or business through Misa.

A Week in Kaua'i: The Best Eats
There's a lot to look forward to on a trip to Kaua'i, and food is one of them. Food on Hawai'i is special, and Kaua'i is no exception. From a hot bowl of saimin to poke straight from the sea to the best ice cream in the world, experiencing the ono grindz of Kaua'i is its own must-do activity. From north to south, Garden Island will nourish you every step of the way. I ate my way up and down the island during a week-long trip and here’s what I learned.

How to Spend a Long Weekend in Maui, Hawai’i
Sometimes you just need to get away, and on the West Coast, we’re lucky that we can retreat easily to Hawai'i when we have a little extra time. Why Maui? Why not? The Valley Isle has it all. It’s the perfect blend of gorgeous scenery, lots to do and, most importantly, lots to eat, without the hustle and bustle of a big city. You may not find any skyscrapers here, but you’ll be surrounded by plenty of local culture, charm and aloha.

The Ultimate Guide to Breakfast & Brunch in Honolulu, Hawai'i
Everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it becomes especially important in Honolulu because you can have tropical pancakes, açaí bowls, cornflake French toast, dumplings and more. The food scene here reflects Honolulu's history with influences from Japan, Korea and Portugal infused into the local cuisine — there’s nothing else like it. Depending on where you’re coming from, that jet lag might just bless you with the time (and appetite) for two breakfasts. I can vouch for all the restaurants on this list — all of them are so good they’re guaranteed to make anyone a morning person.
