About Me

Insider Expertise You Can Trust

At Travel 2Borders, we bring more than research—we bring real, lived experience. Owner Lori Borders has traveled to Japan over 17 times and owns a home there, giving her unparalleled insight into the country’s culture, neighborhoods, and hidden gems. Her deep connection to Japan and years of global travel experience mean every itinerary is designed with authenticity, ease, and insider knowledge that only comes from truly knowing the destination.

Working alongside Lori, I’m able to offer travelers the same expert perspective—whether you’re seeking a luxury ryokan stay, a hands-on cultural workshop, or an off-the-beaten-path countryside adventure. Together, we ensure each journey is thoughtfully curated and stress-free from start to finish.

Why Japan?

A Unique Cultural Experience Japan offers a rich tapestry of culture, from the historical wonders of Kyoto’s temples and shrines to the vibrant energy of Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing. You’ll be captivated by the centuries-old traditions, stunning architecture, and the ever-polite hospitality of the Japanese people.

Culinary Delights Japan is a food lover’s paradise. Savor the freshest sushi, indulge in savory ramen, and discover the art of kaiseki dining. As your travel advisor, I can guide you to the best eateries—from hidden gems to Michelin-starred restaurants—ensuring a culinary journey you’ll never forget.

Natural Beauty Japan’s landscapes are breathtakingly diverse.

Marvel at the iconic Mount Fuji, relax in the hot springs of Hakone, or enjoy the seasonal beauty of cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. Each season brings its own unique charm, and I can help you experience the very best of Japan’s natural wonders.

Best Reggae Fest weekend!
Reviewed By Andres - San Clemente | Traveled to California | USA
Daniela booked a memorable getaway for me and some friends to Los Angeles and San Clemente California for a reggae music festival. The resort she chose was incredible — right off the beach with stunning views and walking distance to the best restaurants and bars! She took care of everything, from flights to transportation, we rented a Jeep and cruised with the top off in the warm California sun. The whole process was simple, easy, and completely stress-free. I definitely recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a smooth, FUN and unforgettable travel experience!

BIG ISLAND TO MAUI
Reviewed By Bonjar - Santa Fe, NM | Traveled to Hawaii Island | Hawaii | USA
I recently took an unforgettable trip to Hawaii, and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing travel agent! From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. She helped me plan an incredible stay in Kona with a room and balcony right over the water. She helped in arranging flights to get there and also coordinating my travel from Kona to Maui. She found amazing resorts on both islands that perfectly matched what I was looking for—relaxing, beautiful and full of the Hawaiian Island vibe. She also recommended some fantastic restaurants, which ended up being some of the best meals of the trip! The entire experience was so exciting and easy thanks to her guidance and expertise. I felt supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to craft a dream vacation, look no further. I can’t wait to book my next adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
