Hello! My name is Gerard! I’m a Highschool arts and tourism teacher with a passion for traveling and trying new foods! As a busy professional, vacation time is limited, so I create jam-packed itineraries to make the most of my traveling experiences! I spend hours of research to make organised itineraries to optimise my time to see the most popular attractions in each place and to find the best food to eat! I'd love to share my experiences and tips with you!
I have traveled to Japan many times and each time love finding new and exiting places. I have done solo trips, trips with friends, a big family group and even a school group.
I also love making custom Japan itineraries to ensure you have the perfect holiday and don't have to worry about anything. For more info you can contact me via direct message on Instagram (@gcjaplanning) or send me an email at gerard.c.clark96@gmail.com!
