Barcelona truly has it all: art, a rich history, culture, mouthwatering cuisine, inviting beaches, and architectural wonders.

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!
This guide includes:
âïž Pre and post-arrival pro-tips
đ Hotel, restaurant, and activity suggestions with some personal anecdotes (we vetted any Instagram vs realities!)
đ Resources, databases, and things to make your journey more efficient and economical
It is not:
đ A list of daily itineraries
â "Beginner's guide to Japan" i.e. how to book JR trains, basic etiquettes, how to transfer from airport to city
đ The absolute best of the bests - opinions here totally my own

Marseille is a major port town on France's southwestern coast. It's a unique French city that has a vibe all of its own⊠You might not really feel like youâre in France!
Marseille has been heavily influenced by immigration from Northern Africa & Italy, resulting in a rich and colorful diversity.
Vibrant street art, lots of interesting food, and a little bit of a gritty feel will be the backdrop to your stay here.
Marseille is frequently used by visitors as a home base to hike, enjoy the water, and explore the surrounding towns and natural areas.
I have visited Marseille three times and love this city!

THE DAY-BY-DAY GUIDE TO A PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO ROME đźđč
I've been fortunate enough to visit Rome multiple times and even more fortunate to have been guided by true Italian friends. Here I take all that I've learned from those travels and distill it into one perfect 3-day introduction.
This itinerary is perfect for someone visiting Rome for the first time and then continuing on to other parts of Italy for the rest of your trip. You'll visit all the truly must-see sights like the Colosseum and the Vatican, but youâll do so at a pace that wonât make you exhausted and miserable.
Generally I recommend that people spend even longer in Rome (because thereâs just *so much* to see here), but I know the stats say 3 days is really typical. I completely understand. Europe is expensive and you want to make the most of your trip. But, I think you'll find that these 3 days barely scratch the surface of the Eternal City, and you'll be itching to come back to see (and eat) everything Rome has to offer!

For the past couple of years, Sarah, my best friend from college, and I have planned a girls trip in the winter months to escape the seasonal depression of Denver and Chicago. It's one of my favorite weekends of the year filled with self-care, shopping, fresh air, and copious cups of tea.
We intentionally plan this weekend to have little to no plan so we can be more present. There's no better place to unwind than along the California Coast. Everything in this guide has been tried and vetted by yours truly!
As always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Big Sur! Just reach out to me directly (:
