About Me

Aloha! I'm Eri, your passionate travel expert ready to whisk you away to the tropical paradise of Maui, where every coastline and mountain peak tells a story of beauty and adventure. With its lush landscapes and incredible beaches, Maui captures the essence of Hawaii like no other island. Stroll along the famous sands of Kaanapali Beach, or watch the sunrise from the summit of Haleakala—an experience that's truly worth the early wake-up call. Explore the winding roads to Hana, where waterfalls and rainforests create a backdrop of breathtaking splendor, or dive beneath the waves at Molokini Crater for a snorkeler’s paradise. Whether you're feasting on authentic Hawaiian cuisine or enjoying a traditional luau under the stars, I’ll craft an itinerary that immerses you in the local culture and natural wonders of Maui. Let's create an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure, where the spirit of aloha embraces you at every turn!

Very memorable!!!
Reviewed By T Marc - Sammamish, WA | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
My family and I (a group of 9) traveled to Japan for the first time. Originally, we had other plans for traveling to Asia, but those fell through—so we made a last-minute decision to visit Japan instead. A friend connected me with Eri, and I reached out for help planning our accommodations. Eri was incredibly conscientious and responsive throughout the booking process. Given our large party size, budget, and limited availability, she arranged stays at various apartment hotels that would best suit our needs. After much discussion among the family, we decided we wanted a mix of experiences—so we followed through on two of the accommodations Eri had booked for us: an apartment hotel in Shinjuku and a traditional ryokan in Hakone. Both stays were fantastic and left lasting impressions on everyone. The Shinjuku apartment hotel gave us a great base to explore Tokyo, while the ryokan in Hakone was a true highlight of the trip. Everyone agreed that our time in Hakone was one of the best parts of the journey—relaxing, scenic, and culturally rich. Eri was consistently helpful, offering us valuable travel advice along the way. Her support made the entire experience smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you, Eri, for helping make our first trip to Japan so memorable!

Amazing trip to Alaska!
Reviewed By ShellBell32 - Maple Valley, WA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Eri helped us pick out the perfect cruise for our family. There is so much to consider when choosing a cruise line, and Eri took into consideration the needs of our family to help us find the perfect ship, staterooms and itinerary. We had many magical moments with our teens on this trip.

Best Planned Trip to Japan!
Reviewed By DSBPiano - Bellevue WA | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Eri is the BEST! I have been to Japan many times to visit family and friends throughout my life, but it had been 13 years since my last trip. A lot has changed in the travel world, so I had some apprehension about going but Eri took care of everything. One of the best decisions I ever made was hiring her. She is organized, thorough, conscientious, accessible, and fast! Since she travels to Japan often herself, she is current on all the rules. She walked me through every part of the process from before we left WA (preparing any documents to get through customs), all hotel, all activities (Gibli museum, Team Labs, Kyoto Tour, Kimono Photos in Asakusa, etc.), train & travel arrangements within Japan (Shinkansen tickets, JR Pass), to helping me prepare when coming back to WA. She suggested various options for how long to stay in each city, gave me time frames, and truly made my worries disappear. I have recommended her to everyone I know and will be using her services again. Don't hesitate

Overseas so easy!
Reviewed By RobinE - Olympia, WA | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
We've never used a travel agency before. Eri explained the process up front in detail for us. She asked great questions to learn they type of vacation we wanted, what sites were "must haves" for us, what hotel amenities were important. Then she sent us a sample itinerary, complete with hotels and even added some suggestions for sites and tours. This came with total costs. We made a few tweaks, and we were finalized! Our trip was smooth, and exactly what we wanted. Best trip! We highly recommend Eri, and plan to use her services again.
