A hotel room with an epilepsy warning? An omakase course of tea-based cocktails? I can't say for sure these are hidden gems, but after months of seeing everyone and their moms go to Japan since COVID reopening, I can say these were some of my favorite spots that I seldom saw people visit.
Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based tech journalist-turned-corporate comms editor. Early in my career I spent a stint as a luxury travel planner and writer specializing in Asia, and if I can toot my own horn, I'm often the friend everyone says "wth Natt, how do you find all these cool spots, drop that itin." (Fine, they don't say it like that, but you get the point).
Travel planning is a great hobby for me, and I am writing this as both a journal to remember my trip by and to share with friends, hence the overly familiar tone you might find below. If you discovered this on the Thatch platform, consider giving my guide a shot and hopefully you'll find it useful for an adventuresome visit to Japan!

✈️ Pre and post-arrival pro-tips
🛌 Hotel, restaurant, and activity suggestions with some personal anecdotes (we vetted any Instagram vs realities!)
📍 Resources, databases, and things to make your journey more efficient and economical

📆 A list of daily itineraries
❓ "Beginner's guide to Japan" i.e. how to book JR trains, basic etiquettes, how to transfer from airport to city

Forget the usual tourist traps and clichés. Paris has a vibrant nightlife that's waiting to be discovered. This guide is your passport to the quirky, themed, and hidden bars!

One man's trash is another man's treasure 💙 Artur Bordalo, also known as Bordalo II (pronounced Bordalo Segundo), was born in 1987 in Lisbon, Portugal. He is famous for using street garbage and discarded materials to create stunning animal sculptures. His underlying message is about excessive consumerism and waste, pollution and all types of endangered species. His works, which can be found all over the world, are referred to as "trash art."
This free guide includes:
🔹52 art installations of Bordalo II in & around Portugal, broken down by region
🔹Interactive map with tagged locations (use the map icon below to toggle between the guide and full map)
🔹All but a few are found outdoors (some are in restaurants as noted), and free of charge to view!
This is not an exhaustive list by any means, and not all of his pieces are permanent exhibits. But hopefully it will help you keep your eyes open for Bordalo's work while traveling around Portugal. His art pieces are really unique and I hope you enjoy spotting them in the wild as much as I do!
If this guide was helpful and you'd be interested to see more like this in the future, please let me know in the comments below! Thanks for supporting my work! 🫶🏻💙

Around the Amalfi Coast like a local | One week unforgettable itinerary trip
This is everything you need to know to plan in detail a perfect 1 week trip to the stunning Amalfi Coast.
I was born in Puglia and raised in Salerno, the first town of the Amalfi Coast; every time I go back home to my family and friends (at least 3 times per year for weeks!) I am still astonished by this picturesque encounter between natural beauty throughout the stretch of coastline, charm of vintage fisherman villages, and colorful architecture.
I want to provide you with an unbiased and detailed 1 week itinerary trip guide written by a true local to discover one of most enchanting places in Italy, and ranked among the prettiest in the world (for sure in my heart!).
You will be amazed by the crystal clear water, idyllic beauty, pastel colors perched little towns, terraced gardens of lemon trees, and delicious food (and limoncello!)
Make sure to click on the 'Details' icon for each place pinned in the itinerary and on the map to read my personal notes on each place.

Here you will find all the hotels/hostels/homestays that I've stayed at around the world. My recommendations are honest, so I only listed those that I really liked and would stay at again.
You can find them for each country in an alphabetical order to make searching easier for you and recommendations are everything from low-budget to 5 star hotels.
As I'm always travelling, I will keep adding new places to this list.
Please note:
Creating these guides takes up quite some time so if you like one of my recommended accommodations, it would really help me if you'd book through my link as I'll receive a small commission. The price will stay the same for you, it only helps me to be able to provide more free content in the future. So it's a win-win for both of us and I'd be very grateful for your support!🙂

A Paris guide for foodies, art lovers and culture vultures. For those who like to venture a little off the beaten track. For visitors who want to see more than the Eiffel Tower & Arc de Triomphe. For some enjoyable alternatives to the selfie-stick wielding tourist hoards at the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay.
Here you'll find tips & recommendations for galleries and museums that don't feature prominently on the main tourist trail. Also included:
A charming boutique hotel which serves the BEST breakfast
A picture-perfect jazz vinyl store crammed with records
A friendly, natural wine store
An immersive art experience
Quirky architectural finds
Traditional Parisian bistrots without the attitude
Breton crêpes in a hole-in-the-wall gem
Picturesque walks, viewing points and the best neighbourhoods for aimless wandering
And much much more...
